Don't Tell My Mom

[Intro] A  E  D

                      A
Sweetie will you come home
                    A
We're tracking your car
                               D
Who are you with? What are you on?
            D
Pick up the phone
           A
When I was young
                 E
My problems were her problems
                                     D
Now, I don't wanna 'cause trouble at all
                 D
I don't want the call

      A                         E                         D
Saying, "We're worried about you, we're worried about you"
                           D
Don't worry about me, just worry about you

   A                      E
So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart
    D                     D
She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars
       A                      E
She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them
   D                      D
At least in her mind, her daughter is fine
    A            E       D         D
Oh, please don't let her hear, I'm dyin' inside
             A          E        D
'Cause she's dealt with this for years

I got it this time

                   A
I'll wait 'til I'm home
           E                        D
Cry in the shower, for two to three hours
                   D
'Til the tears are gone
                 D
Then pick up the phone
            A
Now when we speak
               E                                      D
I lie and said I slept for 8 hours all 7 nights of the week
              D
She'll get to sleep

      A                      E                    D
'Cause, I worry about you, I worry about you, hmm-mmm

Don't worry about me, just worry about you

  A                      E
So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart
    D                     D
She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars
       A                      E
She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them
   D                      D
At least in her mind, her daughter is fine, oh
A            E       D         D
Please don't let her hear, I'm dyin' inside
             A          E        D
'Cause she's dealt with this for years
  D
I got it this time

A                           E
 What you don't know, won't hurt you (Ohh-ooh-ohh)
D                     D
 Momma, I'll lie just for you, no
A                           E
 What you don't know, won't hurt you (Ohh-ooh-ohh)
D                     D
 Momma, I'll lie just for you

   A                        E
So don't tell my mom, she's wearin' my heart
    D
Her daughter might cry, but she'll be alright
