They know he'll (Dm) understand

(G) That's just the way it (C) goes (F) (C)

The king of broken hearts doesn't (F) know he's a king

He's trying to (C) forget other things (A7)

Like some old (Dm) ship it seems

(G) He's walking through a(C)lone (F) (C)

He talks to angels and the (G) stars start to spin

He thinks of troubles that (C) he's gotten in

He recalls how his (D7) heart got broken

The king of broken hearts is (F) so sad and wise

He can smile while he's (C) crying inside (A7)

We know he'll be (Dm) brave tonight (G)

Cause he's the king of broken (C) hearts (F) (C)

He thinks of troubles that (C) he's gotten in

He recalls how his (D7) heart got broken
