Reneé Rapp - Don’t Tell My Mom

[Intro]
A E D

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
A E D
Saying, “We’re worried about you, we’re worried about you”
D
Don’t worry about me, just worry about you

[Chorus]
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
N.C.
I got it this time

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
A E D
‘Cause, I worry about you, I worry about you, hmm-mmm
N.C.
Don’t worry about me, just worry about you

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

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