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
