   A               Hm 
1. I would say I’m sorry 
           C#m                D 
   If I thought that it would change your mind 
   A               Hm 
   But I know that this time 
         C#m 
   I’ve said too much 
        D 
   Been too unkind 
 
 
 
   C#m      Hm 
R. I try to laugh about it 
   C#m                  Hm 
   Cover it all up with lies 
   C#m      Hm 
   I try to laugh about it 
   C#m                    Hm 
   Hiding the tears in my eyes 
 
          A    Hm    C#m   D    D C#m Hm A 
   ´cause boys don’t cry 
   A    Hm    C#m   D    D C#m Hm A 
   Boys don’t cry 
 
 
   A                  Hm 
2. I would break down at your feet 
       C#m 
   And beg forgiveness 
   D 
   Plead with you 
   A 
   But I know that 
   Hm 
   It’s too late 
       C#m                  D 
   And now there’s nothing I can do 
 
 
     C#m              Hm 
R. So I try to laugh about it 
   C#m                  Hm 
   Cover it all up with lies 
   C#m       Hm 
   I try to laugh about it 
   C#m                    Hm 
   Hiding the tears in my eyes 
 
       A    Hm    C#m   D    D C#m Hm A 
´cause boys don’t cry 
A    Hm    C#m   D    D C#m Hm A 
Boys don’t cry 
 
 
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 
 
 
E              Fm 
Misjudged your limits 
E              Fm 
Pushed you too far 
E              Fm 
Took you for granted 
  D 
I thought that you needed me more 
 
 
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
