Intro: A G D (2x)
L[A]isten boy, I don't want to see you let a g[G]ood thing slip a[D]way
You know I d[A]on't like watching anybody make the sa[G]me mistakes I m[D]ade
She's a [C#m]real nice girl and she's [C]always there for [Bm]you
But a n[Dm]ice girl wouldn't [A/C#]tell you what you should [Bm]do [E]
Oh, l[A]isten boy, I'm sure that you think you got it a[G]ll under cont[D]rol
You don't w[A]ant somebody telling you the way to st[G]ay in someone's s[D]oul
You're a [C#m]big boy now and you'll n[C]ever let her [Bm]go
But t[Dm]hat's just the kind of [A/C#]thing she ought to k[Bm]now [A][B]
Chorus I:
T[E]ell her about it, tell her [G#m]everything you feel
[C#m]Give her every [C#m7]reason to ac[F#m7]cept that you're for [B7sus4]real
T[E]ell her about it, tell her [G#m]all your crazy dreams
[C#m]Let her know you [C#m7]need her, let her [F#m7]know how much she [B7sus4]means [B7]
Interlude: A G D (2x)
Ohoo
L[A]isten, boy, it's not automatically a ce[G]rtain guarant[D]ee
To ins[A]ure yourself, you've got to provide communic[G]ation constant[D]ly
When you [C#m]love someone you're [C]always insec[Bm]ure
And there's [Dm]only one good [A/C#]way to reass[Bm]ure[A] [B]
Chorus II:
T[E]ell her about it, let her [G#m]know how much you care
[C#m]When she can't be [C#m7]with you, tell her [F#m7]you wish you were [B7sus4]there
T[E]ell her about it every [G#m]day before you leave
[C#m]Pay her some at[C#m7]tention, give her [F#m7]something to be[B7sus4]lieve [B7]
Bridge:
[G] 'Cause now and t[Em]hen she'll get to w[F]orrying
Ju[G]st bec[Am]ause you haven't s[D]poken for so l[Em]ong[D/F#]
And th[G]ough you may not h[Em]ave done [F]anything
W[G]ill that [Am]be a consol[D]ation when she's [B/D#]gone [E]
L[A]isten boy, it's good information from a m[G]an who's made mist[D]akes
Just a wo[A]rd or two that she gets from you could be the d[G]ifference that it m[D]akes
She's a [C#m]trusting soul, she's p[C]ut her trust in [Bm]you
But a [Dm]girl like that won't [A/C#]tell you what you should [Bm]do [A][B]
Chorus I:
T[E]ell her about it, tell her [G#m]everything you feel
[C#m]Give her every [C#m7]reason to ac[F#m7]cept that you're for [B7sus4]real
T[E]ell her about it, tell her [G#m]all your crazy dreams
[C#m]Let her know you [C#m7]need her, let her [F#m7]know how much she [B7sus4]means [B7]
Coda:
T[A]ell her about it, tell her how you f[G]eel right n[D]ow
T[A]ell her about it, the girl don't want to w[G]ait too l[D]ong
You got to te[A]ll her about it, tell her now and you w[G]on't go wr[D]ong
You got to t[A]ell her about it before it g[G]ets too l[D]ate you got to t[A]ell her about it... (fade)
