Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro.: --- | | | | |

Tell 'em all I'm on va- cation

Say I went to visit friends

That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while

When they ask you where I've been

Tell 'em I'm out on the west coast where it don't ever rain

And that I'm probably doin' fine

(Chorus)

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy

I'm still strung out over you

Tell 'em anything you want to, just don't tell 'em all the truth

Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas

Blowin' every dollar I ever made

Tell 'em that I must be into something bad for me, 'cause

I sure lost a lot of weight

Tell 'em I'm out on the road with some old rock and roll band

livin' like a gypsy can

(Chorus)

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy

I'm still strung out over you

Tell 'em anything you want to, just don't tell 'em all the truth

Yeah, don't tell 'em all the Am truth

The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie, and we both know that it ain't C right

If you ever loved me please, have some mercy on me

Intr.: --- | yeah, yeah, yeah, | yeah | |

Tell 'em anything you want to, just don't tell 'em all the truth
