[Verse 1]
----------------------------------------------
A
You can tell the world, you never was my girl
E
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
E
Or you can tell your friends, just what a fool I've been
A
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
[Verse 2]
------------------------------------------------
A
You can tell my arms, go back into the farm
E
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
E
Or you can tell my lips, to tell my fingertips
A
They won't be reaching out for you no more
[Chorus]
--------------------------------------------------
A
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
E
I just don't think he'd understand
E
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
A
He might blow up and kill this man
A
Uuuuuuuu..
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A
You can tell your maw, I moved to Arkansas
E
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
E
Or tell your brother Cliff, whose fist can tell my lip
A
He never really liked me anyway
[Verse 4]
A
Go tell your aunt Louise, tell anything you please
E
Myself already knows I'm not okay
E
Or you can tell my eye, watch out for my mind
A
It might be walkin' out on me one day
[Chorus]
A
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
E
I just don't think he'd understand
E
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
A
He might blow up and kill this man
A
Uuuuuuuu..
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
A
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
E
I just don't think he'd understand
E
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
A
He might blow up and kill this man
N.C.
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
A
Uuuuuuuu..
