[A] [Bm] [A] [D]
[A] [Bm] [C#m] [D]
[A] I would [Bm] say I'm sorry [C#m] about the fact [D] it would change your [A] mind, but I [Bm] know that this summer
[C#m] has said too [D] much, been too [C#m] unkind.
[Bm] I've tried to laugh [C#m] about it, covering [Bm] all up with lies.
[C#m] [Bm] I've tried to laugh [C#m] about it, hiding the [Bm] tears in my eyes, [A] cause boys [Bm] don't [C#m] cry.
[D] [C#m]
[A] [Bm] Boys [A] don't [D] cry.
[A] I'll [Bm] break down and talk [C#m] me down, fake [D] forgiveness, leave you [A] to do.
But I [Bm] know that it's too [C#m] late now, now there's [D] nothing I can [C#m] do.
So [Bm] I try to laugh [C#m] about it, covering [Bm] all up with lies.

[A] I would [B] tell you that I [C#m] loved you, if I [D] thought that you would [A] stay.
But I [B] know that it's no [C#m] use, that you [D] already run [E] away.
[F#m] There's just a limit, [E] for [F#m] two to fall.
[E] To [F#m] take for granted, [D] that you [E] need every love of [A] mine.
Now I would do [F#m] most anything [C#m] to get you back [D] by my [A] side.
But I [Bm] just keep on [C#m] laughing, hiding the [D] tears in my [A] eyes, cause boys [Bm] [C#m] don't [D] cry.
[C#m]
[A] [Bm] Boys [A] don't [D] cry.
