Verse 1:
G               Am     
I would say I’m sorry

If I thought that it would change your mind
G               Am
But I know that this time
      Bm
I’ve said too much
     C
Been too unkind 


Pre-chorus 1:
 Bm      Am
 I try to laugh about it
 Bm                  Am
Cover it all up with lies
 Bm      Am
I try to laugh about it
 Bm                    Am
Hiding the tears in my eyes

A                  Bm
I would break down at your feet
    C#m              
And beg forgiveness
D
Plead with you
A
But I know that
Bm
It’s too late
    C#m                  D
And now there’s nothing I can do 


Pre-chorus 2:
C#m              Bm
   So I try to laugh about it
C#m                  Bm
Cover it all up with lies
C#m       Bm
 I try to laugh about it
C#m                    Bm
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Boys don’t cry 


Verse 3:
I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away


Bridge:
D              Em
Misjudged your limits
D              Em
Pushed you too far
D              Em
Took you for granted
  C                           D 
I thought that you needed me more


Verse 4:
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes


Chorus 3:
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
