 Intro , ---
I  would say I'm sorry if  I thought that  it would change your mind
 But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind
 Pre Chorus:
I  try to laugh  about it
 Cover it all up with lies
 I try to laugh about it
 Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause  boys  don't  cry
Boys  don't  cry
 I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness plead with you
 But I know that its no use 'cause now there's nothing I can do
 I try to laugh about it
 Cover it all up with lies
 I try to laugh about it
 Hiding the tears in my eyes
 'Cause boys don't cry
 Boys don't cry
 I would tell you that I love you if I thought that you would stay
 But I know that it's no use 'cause you've already gone away
Misjudged  your limits
 I pushed you too far
 I took you for granted
 I thought  that you needed  me more
 I would do most anything to get you back by my side
 But I'll just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes
 'Cause boys don't cry
 Boys don't cry :||
 G Am Bm C, C-Bm-Am-G------ (hold/fade G chord)
