Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
E C#m   A B x2

Verse 1:

E             A    B
We were a couple kids in a pick up fooling around
E     C#m       E
We learned how to keep it so nobody found out
C#m           A
Mama don't need to know everything
B                 E
Some things you keep to yourself
   C#m                 A      B
Like dumb things you do when you're seventeen on the DL

Chorus:
      E    C#m             A  B
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
       E     C#m           A        B
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
    E      C#m
In the back of that race red F-150
 A    B                E       C#m            A  B
We get to kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes, and nobody knows And only will, if that tailgate ever tells


Post-Chorus:
E  C#m             A     B
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me

If that tailgate ever tells
E  C#m             A     B
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me

If that tailgate ever tells


Verse 2:
E  C#m    A     B
You, me, we had bare feet hanging off the edge
E     C#m    A           B
Two drinks, then we lay it on back in the bed

C#m           A
Mama don't need to know everything
B                 E
Some things you keep to yourself
   C#m             A      B
We knew that's all that we'd ever be, on the DL

Chorus:
      E    C#m             A  B
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
       E     C#m           A        B
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
    E      C#m
In the back of that race red F-150
 A    B                E       C#m            A  B
We get to kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes, and nobody knows And only will, if that tailgate ever tells


Post-Chorus:
E  C#m             A     B
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me

If that tailgate ever tells
E  C#m             A     B
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
                 E
If that tailgate ever tells



Bridge:
                    E
What happens on a dirt road stays on a dirt road out here

What we're doing in the dark when we're underneath the stars

Is our own business

Chorus:
      E    C#m             A  B
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
       E     C#m           A        B
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
    E      C#m
In the back of that race red F-150
 A    B                E       C#m            A  B
We get to kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes, and nobody knows And only will, if that tailgate ever tells


Post-Chorus:
E  C#m             A     B
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me

If that tailgate ever tells
E  C#m             A     B
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
                 E
If that tailgate ever tells
