#Am
Tell it to the judge man
#G
Tell it to your motherless reflection
#F
In a sock and one shoe
#G
After the great defection
#Am #G
He said tell a lie sometimes tell the truth
#F
When it suits you and when you've lost your way
#G
Tell a story
#F #G #Am
Tell your story tell it tell it
#F #G #Am. #G
Tell your story to anyone who'll listen
#F #G #Am #F
Tell your story don't stop talking
#G. #A
Just tell your story walking
Listing through Carol Gardens
On the way to Cobble Hill
I stopped by a psychic's dusty wilted windowsill
Forgot what she told me mostly
But I remember one thing she said
You may slip and call some lousy fuck your friend
But in the end you'll come out even
Then tell your story
#F #Am
And it's a sorry frightful thing
#C. #G
When you want to cry but you can't keep from
#F
laughing
#F. #G. #Am
Outside the church that's so quiet it dares you
#G
to shout
#F. #G. #Am
You put a hand to your mouth to stop the rain
#F. #G
You do a St Vitus dance to the sky you raise
your voice
#C. #Gm #F
This is your chance you have no choice
You tell your story
