Jack White - Please God, Don't Tell Anyone: chords

        G          C      G
Please God, don't tell anyone
                          D
What I do or what I have done

                        F               C
When my father gets to Heaven, please spare
         G
him the telling
       D               F            C
Of the ways I've been sinning ever since the
   G
beginning
    D           F                   C
He won't understand and even if he did,
G          D
I'm still his son

        G          C      G  C G
Please God, don't tell anyone
                   C      G
Please God, don't show anyone
                                D
All the idiot things that I've done

When my son gets to Heaven, will he be shown
the yelling?
And the robbing and fighting? And the thunder
and lightning?
He won't know that I did that just to feed
my own daughter and son

Please, God, don't show anyone (Hey)

Oh, baby, what have I done?
Have I proven myself to no one?

Will the things I did well even save me from Hell?
I can't even recall all the sins I can't tell
Will a thousand good deeds be erased then
by just one bad one?

Oh, baby, what have I done? (Hey)

Please, God, don't tell anyone
I was providing, not just having fun

Well, my boy started screaming, so
I started stealing
My daughter was crying, so I started lying
My baby was sobbing, so I started robbing
with a gun

Please, God, don't tell anyone
Please, God, don't tell anyone
