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