[A] [Bm] [C#m] [D] [C#m]
[A] [Bm] [A] [D] [A]
[Bm] [A] [D] [A]
I don't say [Bm] I'm sorry, I [C#m] thought that it would [D] change her mind
[A] But I know [Bm] that this summer [C#m] has said too much, been [D] too unkind
[C#m] I try [Bm] to laugh about it, [C#m] cover it all [Bm] up with lies
[C#m] I try [Bm] to laugh about it, [C#m] hiding my tears [Bm] in my eyes
Cause [A] boys [Bm] don't [A] cry, [D] [Bm]
[A] [Bm] boys [A] don't cry
[D] [C#m]
[A] I'll break [Bm] down, I'll come feed [C#m] and beg forgiveness, [D] plead with you
[A] But I know [Bm] that I'd assume it [C#m] and now there's nothing [D] I can do
[C#m] So I try [Bm] to laugh about [C#m] it, cover it all [Bm] up with lies
[C#m] I try [Bm] to laugh about [C#m] it, hiding the tears [B] in my eyes
Cause [A] [B] boys don't [C#m] cry, [D] [A]
boys [Bm] don't [C#m] [D] cry
[A] I would tell [B] you that I loved [C#m] you with more thought [D] than you would [A] say
But I know [B] that it's no use [C#m] and you're already [D] gone away
[E] I know that I've missed [F#m] out your [E] limit, was too [F#] far,
[E] too taken [F#m] for granted
[D] Not that you need [E] every moment [A]
now, I would do most anything to [C#m] get you back by [D] my [A] side
But I just [B] keep on laughing, [C#m] hiding the tears in [D] my eyes
[A] Cause boys [Bm] [A] don't [D] cry, [E]
[A] [Bm] boys [A] don't [D] cry
[A] [Bm] [C#m] Boys don't [D] cry
