Jim Lauderdale King of Broken Hearts Lyrics

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
