     Bb                                         Ab               Eb
    Listen boy, I don't want to see you let a good thing slip away
                Bb                                     Ab              Eb
    You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made
            Dm7                     Db                Cm7
    She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
           Ebm                Bb                       Cm7
    But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do


         Bb                                              Ab            Eb
    Oh, listen boy, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
               Bb                                     Ab                Eb
    You don't want somebody telling you the way to stay in someone's soul
             Dm7                    Db            Cm7
    You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
               Ebm               Bb                 Cm7  Bb C
    But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know

Chorus 1:
    F                           Am
    Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
    Dm            Dm         Gm7                 Gm7    C
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for reee  - aaal
    F                           Am
    Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
    Dm              Dm               Gm7              Gm7    C
    Let her know you need her, let her know how much she meee - ans

Verse 2:
    Bb                                     Ab             Eb
    Listen, boy, it's not automatically a certain guarantee
         Bb                                           Ab              Eb
    To insure yourself, you've got to provide communication constantly
             Dm7                 Db           Cm7
    When you love someone you're always insecure
                Ebm            Bb          Cm Bb C
    And there's only one good way to reassure

Chorus 2:
     F                         Am
    Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
    Dm               Dm                Gm7              Gm    C
    When she can't be with you, tell her you wish you were thee -  ere
    F                        Am
    Tell her about it, every day before you leave
    Dm            Dm               Gm7         Gm7    C
    Pay her some attention, give her something to belie - eve

Bridge:
    Ab              Fm7                Gb
    'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
    Ab      Bbm                   Eb             F Eb Ab
    Just because you haven't spoken for so long
                   Fm7               Gb
    And though you may not have done anything
     Ab        Bbm        Eb                 F
    Will that be a consolation when she's gone

Verse 3:
    Bb                                        Ab                 Eb
    Listen boy, it's good information from a man who's made mistakes
           Bb                                               Ab                  Eb
    Just a word or two that she gets from you could be the difference that it makes
            Dm7                  Db               Cm7
    She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
          Ebm                   Bb                       Cm Bb C
    But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do

Chorus 3:
    F                           Am
    Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
    Dm            Dm         Gm7                 Gm7    C
    Give her every reason to accept that you're for reee  - aaal
    F                           Am
    Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
    Dm              Dm               Gm7              Gm7    C
    Let her know you need her, let her know how much she meee - ans

Outro:
     Bb        Gm7      Ab                Eb
    Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
     Bb        Gm          Ab                  Eb
    Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
                 Bb       Gm      Ab                    Eb
    You got to tell her about it, tell her now and you won't go wrong
               Bb         Gm       Ab                Eb
    You got to tell her about it before it gets too late you got to tell her about it... -fade-
