              F  
If you're lost, and you're alone  
       Bb         F 
Let me sing you a song  
                                    C 
Oh you're not the only lonely one tonight  
       F 
I know what you're goin' through  
      Bb              F 
I can sympathize with you  
          Bb              F     C      F 
I've been walkin' in your shoes all my life.  
 
(Stop) 
I Was Born With A Broken Heart 
        Bb                  F 
Born to lose right from the start  
          C 
Raised on hand-me-down blues  
             Bb             C 
That's why I sing the way I do  
          F 
A sad six string and a jukebox voice  
        Bb              F 
I'm the lonely people's choice  
      C        
I was made to play the part  
      Bb          C      F 
I Was Born With A Broken Heart. 
 
F                                      Bb 
If the sun, should ever shine, in your life  
                   F 
Well friend that's fine  
                                                       C 
And may you leave behind these old troubled times that we've shared 
       F 
Oh but don't look back for me  
    Bb                    F 
I'm where I'm supposed to be  
    Bb                        F      C       F 
And anywhere there's a lonely street I'll be there.  
 
Chorus: 
 
          C 
Yes I was made to play the part  
      Bb          C      F      
I Was Born With A Broken Heart.
