[Verse 1]
G C
Tell 'em all I'm on vacation
G C
Say I went to visit friends
G C
That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while
G C
When they ask you where I've been
D Em D
Tell 'em I'm out on the west coast where it don't ever rain
C
And that I'm probably doin' fine
[Chorus]
C G D
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
C G D
I'm still strung out over you
C Em D C
Tell 'em anything you want to, just don't tell 'em all the truth
Am D
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
[Verse 2]
G C
Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
G C
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
G C
Tell 'em that I must be into something bad for me, 'cause
G C
I sure lost a lot of weight
D Em D
Tell 'em I'm out on the road with some old rock and roll band
C
livin' like a gypsy can
[Chorus]
C G D
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
C G D
I'm still strung out over you
C Em D C
Tell 'em anything you want to, just don't tell 'em all the truth
Am D
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
[Bridge]
C G D C
The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie, and we both know that it ain't right
C Em D C
If you ever loved me please, have some mercy on me
[Instrumental]
G D C G
[Chorus]
C Em D C
Tell 'em anything you want to, just don't tell 'em all the truth
Am D
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
G C
I still need you
C G C
Yeah, that's the truth
G C
I still love you
C G C G
Baby, that's the truth

I agree with mchapman87 to just look on youtube, and would add that this song was written by ashley monroe -- search the title and her name and you'll find several good youtube videos of her performing it (she's amazing!), and on most you can see the fretboard well enough to more or less figure it out. I've not seen her use a capo to play this, though perhaps others do
