[Intro] A G D (2x)
[Verse 1]
AGD Listen boy, I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away
AGD You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made
C#mCBm She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
DmA/C#Bm E But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
 
AGD Oh, listen boy, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
AGD You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul
C#mCBm You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
DmA/C#BmA B But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
 [Chorus 1]
EG#m Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
C#mC#m7F#m7B7sus4 Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
EG#m Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
C#mC#m7F#m7B7sus4 B7 Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
 
[Interlude] A G D (2x) Ohoo
 [Verse 2]
AGD Listen, boy, it's not automatically a certain guarantee
AGD To insure yourself, you've got to provide communication constantly
C#mCBm When you love someone you're always insecure
DmA/C#Bm A B And there's only one good way to reassure
 [Chorus 2]
EG#m Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
C#mC#m7F#m7B7sus4 When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were there
EG#m Tell her about it every day before you leave
C#mC#m7F#m7B7sus4 B7 Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
 [Bridge]
GEmF 'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
GAmDEm D/F# Just because you haven't spoken for so long
GEmF And though you may not have done anything
GAmDB/D# E Will that be a consolation when she's gone
 
AGD Listen boy, it's good information from a man who's made mistakes
AGD Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes
C#mCBm She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
DmA/C#Bm A B But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
 [Chorus 1]
EG#m Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
C#mC#m7F#m7B7sus4 Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
EG#m Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
C#mC#m7F#m7B7sus4 B7 Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
 [Coda]
AGD Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
AGD Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
AGD You got to tell her about it, tell her now and you won't go wrong
AGDA
