WHAT`S A BROKEN HEART
(by Don Phrimmer & George Teren)
(performed by Patty Loveless)
-----------------------------
[The recording of this song is in G; I play the acoustic guitar intro
in either D or C, and use a capo at the 6th or 8th fret. The chords
I`ve written here are in D, but if you just want the chords, it would
probably be easier to play it in G and use a capo on the 1st fret.]
[Don`t worry too much about the Fm13; just play it as Fm, if you`re
strumming chords. I called it a thirteenth because it has lots of
hammer-ons and pull-offs that add up to a lot of different notes.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
Asus2 Bm Bm9 Fm Fm13 G G(9) D G
[intro; see tab at end]
Asus2 Bm Bm9 Fm
What`s a broken heart, it ain`t no big deal
Fm13 G G(9) Asus4
It`s not what I have, it`s only what I feel
Asus2 Bm Bm9 Fm
I should laugh it off, I should never cry
Fm13 G G Fsus4 F
It`s not meant to live or die by
G G C/G C/G D/A F/A Bm
Once I learn to let him go, the healing has to start
Bm Em Fm G
It`s temporary pain, I`ll live to love again
A Bm Bm9 Fm Fm13 Em Fm G (A)
So what`s a broken heart
I just have to stop, and look at who I am
I was just a fool, he was just a man
I can walk away, never looking back
All his tender lies are hard facts
Compared to those who have no hope, their lives so cold and hard
All my misery is a raindrop in the sea
Yeah, what`s a broken heart
A Bm Bm9 Fm Fm13 G G F F
What`s a broken heart
With faith and time, I know I`ll find my world is not that dark
It`s temporary pain, I`ll live to love again
A Bm Bm9 Fm Fm13 Em Fm G (A)
So what`s a broken heart
A Bm Bm9 Fm Fm13 G Asus2 Bm.
What`s a broken heart
TAB:
This is the intro; the verse is very similar. The first section of tab
is in D, the second is in C; play whichever you want.
