Chords for Pat Alger - Like We Never Had a Broken Heart

_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] I had a band for a while _ back in the _ 90s [B] called _ _ Pat Alger and the Algerians and _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ we didn't get a record deal unfortunately.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] Asheville wasn't ready to be hired [Db] no Algerians.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ But I had a background singer
in the band her name was she was a little Georgia girl.
[D] _ She wasn't little
actually she was about 5 _ '8".
Her name was Patricia [Eb] Yearwood, my [Db] background vocalist. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [F]
We used to play this club called Douglas Corner Cafe _ _ _ _ and I used to have a
buddy Tony Arata who's a great songwriter.
He opened all the shows and
we did our show and it was really really cool.
We started to build [N] an audience and
the place got to where it's hard to get in for our shows. _ _
_ _ One night we looked
out and all the A&R people in town were in the audience. _
_ _ _ You know Tony he got
kind of excited.
He said Pat _ do you know who's here tonight?
I said yeah I know
who's here. _
He said man we're really doing some business.
I said Tony they're
not here to see us _ _ [Ab] they're here to see the tall blonde girl in between us.
And _
[Abm] _ that night Tricia got signed to a record [Db] deal _ _ and [Abm] there went my [Gb] band.
Dang [Ab] it.
_ [Db] _ _ You don't replace Tricia Yearwood in your band.
You can't find nobody else to do it.
[A] So she had done a couple of songs in the show that [G] I'd written and this
one particular one I really loved and _ so I thought hey she's got a record deal
I'm gonna get a song on a record and she did too.
She said oh I love that song
we're gonna [F] we're gonna cut that.
So she played it for a producer and he said _ _ nah
_ _ I don't hear it.
What else you got?
_ Pretty much just like [Db] that.
_ _ [Fm] _ Crushed [Db] my _ _ feelings
[Ab] terribly.
_ But Tricia was from Georgia _ _ up in the mountains of [Db] Georgia and she
didn't take no for an answer back in those days and [Eb] she went back to him and
she said we are so gonna do this song and _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Gb] it was a number one record. _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] Don't be afraid to [Gb] hold [Db] me tight. _ _
_ _ _ _ You know I won't break in two. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ What we're
doing here [Ab] tonight _ _ _ _ sure _ [Ab] _ _ beats [Gb] what we're [Db] going through. _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ [Ab] _ _ We both loved and [Db] lost
before. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ We know the [Db] damage that [Gb] we do. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So let's just close [Ab] the door. _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ And I can't
[Ab] remember what [Db] rhymes with you. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ Let's keep hanging [Gb] _
_ [Db] on.
_ _ _ Tricia!
_ _ _ _ [Ab] So we don't fall apart.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ Let's make [Ebm] love tonight _ [Ab] _
like _ _ we never had a broken [Db] _ heart. _ _
I'm gonna have to call
her when [Gb] I get back and [Ab] apologize. _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh man. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Don't be [Ab] afraid [Db] to close your _ eyes.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Pretend I'm someone [Db] that you [Gb] love. _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] Then I won't have [Fm] to tell you _ [Eb] _ lies.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ Cause it's not you [Fm] I'm
thinking [Db] _ [Ab] of. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] Let's keep [Gb] hanging on. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
So we [Ab] don't fall [Fm] _ apart.
