I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can [G A G D, G D A]

If your broken heart should need repair [G G4 G]

Then I'm the man to see [A D]

I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends [G G4 G]

They'll come runnin' to me [E7 A]

Here is the main thing I want to say [G A D, /c#]

I'm busy 24 hours a day [Bm /a]

I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can [G A G D, G A]

Come, come, come [D A Bm]
