Intro: A G D (2x) 
  
     A                                         G               D  
    Listen boy, I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away  
                A                                     G              D  
    You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made  
            C#m                      C                Bm 
    She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you  
           Dm                A/C#                     Bm E 
    But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do  
  
         A                                              G            D  
    Oh, listen boy, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control  
               A                                     G                D  
    You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul  
             C#m                     C            Bm 
    You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go  
         Dm                     A/C#                Bm  A B 
    But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know  


[Refrão]
  
     E                          G#m 
    Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel  
    C#m            C#m7        F#m7                 B7sus4 
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for real  
     E                          G#m 
    Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams  
    C#m              C#m7              F#m7              B7sus4 B7 
    Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means  
  
Interlude: A G D (2x) 
           Ohoo                        
  
     A                                      G            D  
    Listen, boy, it's not automatically a certain guarantee 
          A                                           G             D  
    To insure yourself, you've got to provide communication constantly  
             C#m                 C           Bm 
    When you love someone you're always insecure  
                Dm            A/C#        Bm A B 
    And there's only one good way to reassure  


[Refrão]
  
     E                         G#m 
    Tell her about it, let her know how much you care  
    C#m               C#m7               F#m7              B7sus4 
    When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were there  
     E                      G#m 
    Tell her about it every day before you leave  
    C#m            C#m7              F#m7           B7sus4 B7 
    Pay her some attention, give her something to believe   
  
Bridge: 
   G                Em                 F 
    'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying  
      G     Am                D             Em D/F# 
    Just because you haven't spoken for so long  
          G                 Em       F 
    And though you may not have done anything  
     G        Am         D                B/D# E 
    Will that be a consolation when she's gone  
  
     A                                        G                 D  
    Listen boy, it's good information from a man who's made mistakes  
             A                                              G                  D  
    Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes  
            C#m                   C               Bm 
    She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you  
          Dm                   A/C#                     Bm A B 
    But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do  
  

[Refrão]
  
     E                          G#m 
    Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel  
    C#m            C#m7        F#m7                 B7sus4 
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for real  
     E                          G#m 
    Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams  
    C#m              C#m7              F#m7              B7sus4 B7 
    Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means  

Coda:  
     A                                   G          D  
    Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now   
     A                                         G        D  
    Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long  
                 A                                      G         D  
    You got to tell her about it, tell her now and you won't go wrong  
                A                           G        D               A 
    You got to tell her about it before it gets too late you got to tell her about it... (fade)
