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#m7                     C                Bm7
    She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
           Dm                A/C#                     Bm7
    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#m7                    C            Bm7
    You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
               Dm               A/C#               Bm7  A B
    But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know


[Chorus 1]

    E                           G#m
    Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
    C#m            C#m/B       F#m7                 F#m7/B  B
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for reee  - aaal
    E                           G#m
    Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
    C#m              C#m/B             F#m7              F#m7/B  B
    Let her know you need her, let her know how much she meee - ans


[Interlude]

A G D (x2)
Ohoo


[Verse 2]

    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#m7                 C           Bm7
    When you love someone you're always insecure
                Dm            A/C#        Bm A B
    And there's only one good way to reassure


[Chorus 2]

     E                         G#m
    Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
    C#m               C#m/B              F#m7              F#m/B  B
    When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were thee -  ere
    E                        G#m
    Tell her about it, every day before you leave
    C#m            C#m/B             F#m7         F#m7/B  B
    Pay her some attention, give her something to belie - eve


[Bridge]

    G              Em7                F
    'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
    G      Am                   D             E D G
    Just because you haven't spoken for so long
                   Em7               F
    And though you may not have done anything
     G        Am        D                 E
    Will that be a consolation when she's gone


[Verse 3]

    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#m7                  C               Bm7
    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


[Chorus 3]

    E                           G#m
    Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
    C#m            C#m/B       F#m7                 F#m7/B  B
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for reee  - aaal
    E                           G#m
    Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
    C#m              C#m/B             F#m7              F#m7/B  B
    Let her know you need her, let her know how much she meee - ans


[Coda]

     A        F#m7      G                D
    Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
     A        F#m          G                  D
    Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
                 A       F#m      G                    D
    You got to tell her about it, tell her now and you won't go wrong
               A         F#m       G                D
    You got to tell her about it before it gets too late you got to tell her about it... (fade)
