A	         	Bm	       C#m	                 D
I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind
A		        Bm               C#m		     D
But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind

A            Bm		     C#m		  D
    I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
A            Bm		     C#m		    D
    I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes
     A	  Bm    C#m	D
Cos' boys don't cry

A                  Bm               C#m              D
I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
A               Bm                        C#m                 D
But I know that it's too late and there's nothing (left that) I can do

A            Bm		     C#m		  D
    I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
A            Bm		     C#m		    D
    I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes
     A	  Bm    C#m	D
Cos' boys don't cry

A                       Bm             C#m          D
I would tell you that I loved you if I thought that you would stay
A               Bm                C#m      D
But I know that it's no use, that you've already gone away

E              F#     G              F#
Misjudged your limit, pushed you too far
E            F#         E                         F#
Took you for granted, I thought that you needed me more

A                    Bm          C#m                D
Now I  would do most anything to get you back to my side
A          Bm                C#m                    D
But I just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes
        A      Bm    C#m  D    [DC#m Bm C]     C      Bm    C#m  D    [D C#m Bm C]
Cos' boys don't cry                                      Boys don't cry
