DON'T TELL ME
Lachlan Irvine
[G7][C]
[C] You say your life has not turned out the way you always [G7] dreamed,
The one you chose instead of me isn't all he [C] seemed;
Romantic hopes keep crashing in to harsh re-[C7]-ali-[F]-ty,
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me. [G7][C]
[C] It isn't fair to say these things to one you hurt so [G7] bad,
To one who's tried so long and hard to forget what we once [C] had.
You say you made a big mistake, on that we [C7] can a-[F]-gree,
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me. [G7][C]
[C] I'm not the one who needs to hear confessions of your [G7] heart;
The memory of losing you still tears me a-[C]-part.
The time has come to face the facts: accept what [C7] has to [F] be,
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me. [G7][C]
[C] I sympathise with what you say, don't think that I don't [G7] care,
To see you so unhappy now is more than I can [C] bear;
In life we play the hand we're dealt, there is no [C7] guaran-[F]-tee,
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me. [G7][C]
[C] You broke my heart and crushed my dreams, the day you took your [G7] vow.
They say that time will heal my pain, but they don't say when or [C] how.
But if you want to break his too, so you can [C7] be set [F] free,
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me.
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me.
Tell [G7] him, don't tell [C] me.
