INTRO: D,A,D,A,D,A
 D
You can tell the world, you never was my girl
                                    A
you can burn my clothes up when Im gone

you can tell your friends just what a fool Ive been
                                     D
and laugh and joke about me on the phone


D
you can tell my arms go back to the farm
                                  A
you can tell may feet to hit the floor

or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
                                       D
they wont be reaching out for you no more

CHORUS
 D
but dont tell my heart

my achy breaky heart
                         A
I just dont think hed understand

and if you tell my heart

my achy breaky heart
                                D
he might blow up and kill this man

D
You can tell your ma, I moved to Arkansas
                                   A
you can tell your dog to bite my leg

or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
                           D
he never really liked my anyway

D
Or tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please
                             A
myself already knows Im not OK

or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
                                D
it might be walking out on me today
