[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Gm] Listen boy, I don't want to see [Ab] you let a good thing slip [Eb] away
[Bb] You know I don't like watching anybody [Ab] make the same mistakes [Eb] I've made
[Dm] She's a real nice girl [Db] and she's always [Cm] there for you
[Ebm] But a nice girl [Bb] wouldn't tell you what [Cm] you should do
[F]
[Bb] Oh [Gm] listen boy, I'm sure that you [Ab] think you got it all under [Eb] control
[Bb] You don't want [Gm] somebody telling you [Ab] the way to stand to [Eb] someone's soul
[Dm] You're a big boy now [Db] and you'll never let [Cm] her go
[Ebm] But that's just the [Bb] kind of thing she [Cm] ought to know
[Bb] [C]
[F] Tell [Dm] her about it, [Am] tell her everything you feel
[Dm] Give her [F] every reason [Gm] to accept that you're for [Cm] real
[F] [Dm] Tell her about it, [Am] tell her all your crazy [Dm] dreams
Let her know you [F] need her, [Gm] let her know how [Bb] much she means
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] Listen [Ab] [Eb]
[Gm] boy, it's not [Ab] automatically certain, [Eb] guaranteed
[Bb] To ensure yourself you've [Gm] got to [Ab] provide communication [Eb] constantly
[Dm] When you love [Db] someone, you're always [Cm] insecure
[Ebm] And that's only [Bb] one good way to [Cm] reassure
[Bb] [C]
[F] Tell [Dm] her about it, let her [Am] know how much you care
[Dm] When she [F] can't be with you, [Gm] tell her you wish you were [C] there
[F] Tell [Dm] her about it, [Am] every day before you [Dm] leave
Pay her some attention, [Gm] give her something to [Bb] believe
[Ab] Cause [Fm] now and then she'll [Gb] get to worrying
[Ab]
[Bb] Just because you [Eb] haven't spoken [F] for so long
[Ab] Though [Fm] you may not [Gb] have done anything
[Bb] Will that be [Eb] consolation [Em] when she's [F] gone?
[Bb] Listen boy, it's good [Ab] information from a man who's [Eb] made mistakes
[Bb] Just the word or two that she [Gm] gets from you could be [Ab] the difference [Eb] that it makes
[Dm] She's a trusting [Db] soul, she's put her [Cm] trust in you
[Ebm] But a girl like [Bb] that won't tell you [Cm] what you should [Bb] do
[C]
