[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
              Daddy just cut your hair today, didn't he?
Yeah
Do you like it?
No, I cried
You did cry
I cried

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

Sayin': We're worried about you
We're worried about you
Don't worry about me
Just worry about you

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

I wait till I'm home
Cry in the shower for two to three hours
till the tears are gone
Then pick up the phone
Now when we speak
I lie and say I slept eight hours
All seven nights of the week
She'll get to sleep

'Cause I worry about you
I worry about you
Don't worry about me
Just worry about you

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

What you don't know won't hurt you
Mama, I'll lie, just for you
What you don't know won't hurt you
Mama, I'll lie, just for you

So don't tell my mom
She's wearin' my heart
Her daughter might cry
But she'll be alright
