                                  F
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
                 C
And he has quite a few of them
A7              Dm
They know he'll understand
G                      C   F  C
That's just the way it goes
                                  F
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
               C
He's trying to forget other things
A7             Dm
Like some old chilly scenes
G                    C     F C
He's walking through alone
                           G
He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
                           C
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
           D7
He recalls how his heart got broken
                        G
And how it's still that way
                             F
The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise
             C
He can smile while he's crying inside
A7               Dm
We know he'll be brave tonight
G                      C            F C
Cause he's the king of broken hearts

SOLO
                           G
He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
                           C
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
           D7
He recalls how his heart got broken
                        G
And how it's still that way
                                      F
The king of broken hearts thinks that he's an old fool
                       C
He's a little bit like me and you
A7                         Dm
So what's a king like that supposed to do
G                  E
With all that blue time
A7                Dm
We know he'll be brave tonight
G                              F
Cause he's the king of broken hearts
F                        C   F C
He's the king of broken hearts
