INTRODUCTION

VERSE 1
A
Well you can tell the world you never was my girl
E
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
A
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
A
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
E
Or you can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
A
They won't be reaching out for you no more
CHORUS
A
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart
E
I just don't think he'd under - stand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
A
He might blow up and kill this man
ooooooooooooo

A
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
E
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who’s fist can tell my lip

He never really liked me anyway
A
Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you please
E
Myself already knows I'm not ok
Or you can tell my eye to watch out for my mind
A
It might be walkin' out on me today
CHORUS
A
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart

I just don't think he'd under - stand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
