                                   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
