1. A You can tell the world, you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I am E gone
Or E you can tell your friends, just what a fool I’ve been
And laugh and joke about me on the A phone
2. A You can tell my arms, go back into the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the E floor
Or E you can tell my lips, to tell my fingertips
They won’t be reaching out for you no A more
Chorus: But A don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’d E understand
And E if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this A man, A uhm …
AA-AE – EE-EA
3. A You can tell your maw, I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my E leg
Or E tell your brother Cliff, whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me A anyway
Go A tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I’m not E okay
Or E you can tell my eye, watch out for my mind
It might be walkin’ out on me one A day
Chorus: But A don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’d E understand
And E if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this A man, A uhm …
AA-AE – EE-EA
Chorus: But A don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’d E understand
And E if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this A man
Chorus: But A don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’d E understand
And E if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this A man, A uhm …
Outtro: AA-AE – EE-EA
