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