[A] [B]
[A] [B]
[A] [G#m] [F#m] [E]
I can think of younger days when life for mine [F#m]
was everything a [E] man could want to do.
I [G] [G#]
could never see [C#m]
tomorrow.
[F#]
I was never told [B] about the sorrow.
[E] And how can you mend a broken heart?
[F#m]
How can you stop the rain falling down?
Tell [A] me how can [B] you stop [A] the sun [B] not shining?
[A] What makes [G#m] the world [F#m] [E] go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
[F#m]
How can a loser ever win?
Somebody [D#] [A] please help [B] me mend [A] my [B] broken heart.
[A] And let [G#m] me [F#m] live [E] again.
La la la [A] la [E] la la.
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees.
[F#m]
And misty memories of [E] days gone by.
[G#] But we could never see [C#m] tomorrow.
I know that you [F#] believe that no one, no one ever told us [B] about the sorrow.
So [G#m] how can you [E] mend a broken heart?
[F#m] And how can you stop the rain falling down?
[A] How can [B] you stop the sun not [A]
[B] shining?
[A] What makes [G#m] the world [F#m] go [E] round?
And sometimes I just say, yeah.
La la la la la la.
[F#m]
Somebody [A] help [B] me mend my [A] broken [B] heart.
I [A] just wanna, I just [G#m] wanna, I [F#m] just wanna, I just [E] wanna, I just wanna live again.
Baby, how can you mend this broken man?
[F#m] Somebody tell me how can a loser ever win?
Baby, I said, [D] baby.

Help [B] me mend my, [A] this old [B] broken heart.
[A] I think I, I know [G#m] I, I believe I, [F#m] [E] I feel like I got to, I feel like I'm gonna laugh again.
How can you mend this broken heart?
Somebody please help [F#m] me.
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
I'll throw my clothes off with [A] Terry.
How [B] can you mend my, [A] please help me mend my [B] broken heart?
[A] I think I, [G#m] [F#m] I believe I, [E] I got a feeling that I want to live, live and live.
La la la la la la.
