Intro:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB x2
Verse 1:
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
We were a couple kids in a pick up fooling around
E MajorE C# minorC#m E MajorE
We learned how to keep it so nobody found out
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Mama don't need to know everything
BB E MajorE
Some things you keep to yourself
C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Like dumb things you do when you're seventeen on the DL
Chorus:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
E MajorE C# minorC#m
In the back of that race red F-150
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
We get to kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes, and nobody knows And only will, if that tailgate ever tells
Post-Chorus:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells

E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Two drinks, then we lay it on back in the bed
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Mama don't need to know everything
BB E MajorE
Some things you keep to yourself
C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
We knew that's all that we'd ever be, on the DL
Chorus:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down
E MajorE C# minorC#m
In the back of that race red F-150
A augmentedA BB E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
We get to kissin', we get to slippin' off clothes, and nobody knows And only will, if that tailgate ever tells

Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
If that tailgate ever tells

Tailgate don't tell on me, don't tell on me
E MajorE
If that tailgate ever tells
Bridge:
E MajorE
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

If that tailgate ever tells
