Introdução: E 
                    E7                A 
I can think of younger days when living for my life 
F#m           E 
Was everything a man could want to do 
G#7              C#m           
I could never see tomorrow,  
    F#7         B7 
But I was never told  about the sorrow    
B7/9-  E7M 
And, how can you mend a broken heart 
F#m 
How can you stop the rain from falling down 
A         B7   A            B7 
How can you stop the sun from shining 
F#m            B7        E 
What makes the world go round 
E7M           
How can you mend this broken man         
F#m                            
How can a loser ever win 
        A      B7       A      B7    
Please help me mend my broken heart  
F#m      B7      E          A  E 
And let me live again, la, la, la, la 
                          E7M 
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees 
F#m               E 
And misty memories of days gone by 
G#7                  C#        
We could never see tomorrow,  
     F#7                B7 
But no one said a word about the sorrow 
B7/9- E7M 
And   how can you mend a broken heart 
F#m 
How can you stop the rain from falling down 
A            B7  A            B7 
How can you stop  the sun from shining 
F#m            B7       E 
What makes the world go round 
E7M 
How can you mend this broken man 
F#m 
How can a loser ever win 
        A      B7        A     B7    
Please help me mend my broken heart  
  F#m       B7      E                 
And let me live  again
