1. 	 Somewhere there should be
2. 	 And there  on   his  face
                     A7 	       
1. 	 for all the world to see
2. 	 whoa a tear should be placed

           D 	      E-E7 	      A   Bm E
1. 	 a statue of a fool made of stone
2. 	 to honour the million tears he’s cried
            A 	       F#m 	 
1. 	 The image of a ma-an,
2. 	 And the hurt in his eyes would show

                C#m 	  	    A7
1.      Who let love slip through his hands
2.      So everyone would know
            B 	  	         B7 	      E-E7
1. 	 and there, just let him stand there all alo-ooone
2. 	 That concealed is a broken heart insi-ii-ide
