Album: Motown 40 Forever 

TABBED BY: Andy Tobita

Tuning: standard 

INTRO: 
F (bass) C G Bb 
Bb Dm Gm Eb (twice) 
C G Bb 

VERSE: Bb Dm Gm Eb 
As I walk this land of broken dreams 
I have visions of many things 
Happiness is just an illusion 
Filled with sadness and confusion, 

C Bb 

CHORUS: Bb Dm Gm Eb (twice) 
What becomes of the broken hearted 
Who had love that's now departed? 
I know I've got to find 
Some kind of peace of my memory 

C G Bb 

VERSE: Bb Dm Gm Eb 
The roots of love grow all around 
But for me they come tumbling down. 
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger 
I can't stand this pain much longer 

C Bb 

VERSE: Bb Dm Gm Eb 
I walk in shadows searching for light 
Cold and alone no comfort in sight, 
Hoping and praying for someone to care 
Always moving and going anywhere 

C Bb 

REPEAT CHORUS 

C G Bb 

VERSE: Bb Dm Gm Eb 
I'm searching though I don't succeed, 
But someone look, there's a growing need. 
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning, 
All that's left is an unhappy ending. 

C Bb 

CHORUS: Bb Dm Gm Eb (four times and fade) 
Now what's become of the broken-hearted 
Who had love that's now departed? 
I know I've got to find 
Some kind of peace of mind 
I'll be searching everywhere 
Just to find someone to care. 
I'll be looking everyday 
I know I'm gonna find a way 
Nothings gonna stop me now 
I'll find a way somehow 
I'll be searching everywhere
