B G#m7 C#m Amaj7
B G#m7 A Amaj7
[Verse]
B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 When the wind blows down this hard, B G#m7 A Amaj7 Many a bond is broken. B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 See the water lie on the ground B G#m7 A Amaj7 From where the heavens opened.
[Chorus]
E A F#m B Lord, how will you get through this night G#m7 C#m F#m B With your dreams departed? B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 And who alone will comfort you? B G#m7 A Amaj7 Only the broken hearted.
[Instrumental]
B G#m7 C#m Amaj7
B G#m7 A Amaj7
[Verse]
B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 So you've gone beyond your means, B G#m7 A Amaj7 Every wound is open, B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 Your best laid plans are out of reach, B G#m7 A Amaj7 And all your fears unspoken.
[Chorus]
E A F#m B Lord, how will you get through this night G#m7 C#m F#m B With your dreams departed? B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 And who alone will comfort you? B G#m7 A Amaj7 Only the broken hearted.
[Instrumental]
B G#m7 C#m Amaj7
B G#m7 A Amaj7
[Bridge]
F# G#m Sweet revenge is spoken then; A C#m In the twilight it is gone. F# B B/A To living lies with no escape, G#m A Lord, I would rather be alone.
[Instrumental]
B G#m7 C#m Amaj7
B G#m7 A Amaj7
[Verse]
B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 I press my fingers to the wood B G#m7 A Amaj7 To tell you of my dreaming, B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 To sing you songs from olden times, B G#m7 A Amaj7 To keep the love light gleaming.
[Chorus]
E A F#m B 'Cause there's a place where we can go, G#m7 C#m F#m B Where we will not be parted. B G#m7 C#m Amaj7 And who alone will enter there? B G#m7 A Amaj7 Only the broken hearted.
