[Verse]
    D
Can you guess what I'm thinking of
Bm
Where's someone that I can love?
Bb
I just don't know where to start
A
I'm the king of broken hearts


[Verse]
      D
I was waiting for the bells to ring
   Bm
My love for her keeps lingering
Bb
Praying that she'd wear my ring
A                        A7
Waiting for the crowd to sing


[Chorus]
D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  A [ A/G A/F# A/E|
I've lost before I ever start to love again
D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  F    Em | D |
I'd give it all away to find a friend again,  again


[Verse]
D
Where's the dream I had before?
Bm
She just walked right out the door
  Bb
I want her back and nothing more
    A                        A7
Her note fell on the bedroom floor


[Chorus]
D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  A [ A/G A/F# A/E|
I've lost before I ever start to love again
D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  F    Em
I'd give it all away to find a friend again


[Bridge]
  Bb
A heart's no good when it's been broken
Bb
Words of love are often spoken
Bb                               C
My tears fall like jewels from a crown


[Solo]
| D | Bm | D | Bm |

[Verse]
D
Look how fast the tide can turn
     Bm
Some people live but never learn
Bb
I can make a brand-new start
A                          A7
Living in a land of broken hearts (broken hearts – yeah)


[Chorus]
D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  A [ A/G A/F# A/E|
I've lost before I ever start to love again
D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  A [ A/G A/F# A/E|
I'd give it all away to find a friend again

D
I'm the king of broken hearts
     Em7                         D/F#  F     Em  [ D ]
I've lost before I ever start to love again,     again
