THIS SONG IS SPOKEN NOT SUNG
[Intro]
D D7 A
[Verse]
A E7 A
You will meet many just like me....up-on lifes busy street.
D
with shoulders stooped and heads bowed low
A
and eyes that stare in defeat.
A7 D
For souls that live within the past...where sorrow plays all parts,
A E7 A
for a living death is all thats left...for men with brokens hearts.
[Verse]
A E7 A
You have no right to be the judge,...to critisize and condemn.
D
Just think but for the grace of God
A
it would be you instead of him.
A7 D
One careless step, a thoughtless deed...and then the misery starts
A E7 A
and to those who weep death comes cheap,..these men with broken hearts.
[Verse]
A E7 A
Humble you should be ...when they come passing by,
D
for its written that the greatest of men
A
...never get to big to cry.
A7 D
Some lose faith in love and life...when sorrow shoots her darts,
A E7 A
...with hope all gone,...they walk alone...these men with broken hearts.
[Verse]
A E7 A
You've never walked in that man's shoes...or saw things through his eyes,
D
or stood and watched with helpless hands
A
while the heart inside you dies.
A7 D
Some were porpers,...some were kings,..some were masters of the arts,
A E7 A
..but in their shame they're all the same,...these men with broken hearts.
[Verse]
A E7 A
Life sometimes can be so cruel....that a heart will pray for death.
D
God why must these living dead
A
know pain with every brea-th...
A7 D
So help your brother along the road,..no matter where he starts!
A E7 A D A
For the God that made you,made them too....These men with broken hearts!
