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
