[Intro]
C G C G C G
[Verse]
C
You can tell the world, you never was my girl
G
you can burn my clothes up when Im gone
you can tell your friends just what a fool Ive been
C
and laugh and joke about me on the phone
[Verse]
C
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
G
you can tell may feet to hit the floor
or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
C
they wont be reaching out for you no more
[Chorus]
C
But don't tell my heart
my achy breaky heart
G
I just dont think hed understand
and if you tell my heart
my achy breaky heart
C
he might blow up and kill this man
[Verse]
C
You can tell your ma, I moved to Arkansas
G
you can tell your dog to bite my leg
or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
C
he never really liked my anyway
[Verse]
C
Or tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please
G
myself already knows Im not OK
or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
C
it might be walking out on me today
[Chorus] 2x
C
But don't tell my heart
my achy breaky heart
G
I just dont think hed understand
and if you tell my heart
my achy breaky heart
C
he might blow up and kill this man
