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

A (2)
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
A E
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
E (2)
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
E A
He never really liked me anyway
A (2)
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
A E
Myself already knows I'm not OK
E (2)
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
E A
It might be walking out on me today
A (2)
But don't tell my heart, My achy breaky heart
A E
I just don't think he'd understand
E (2)
And if you tell my heart, My achy breaky heart
E A
He might blow up and kill this man

A (2)
But don't tell my heart, My achy breaky heart

And if you tell my heart, My achy breaky heart

He might blow up and kill this man
