[G]  [D]  [Am7]  [C]

[G]I pulled into the s[D]hopping center
And [Am7]saw a little boy w[C]rapped around the le[G]gs of his mo[D]the[Am7]r    [C]
Like i[G]ce cream melting t[D]hey embraced
[Am7]Years of bad deci[C]sions running down h[G]er fac[D]e  [Am7]       [C]
[G]All morning I'd been th[D]inking my lifes's so h[Am7]ard
And th[C]ey wore everthing they o[G]wn, l[D]iving in a ca[Am7]r    [C]
I wan[G]ted to te[D]ll him it would [Am7]be oka[C]y
But I just got[G] in my subu[D]rban and I d[Am7]rove aw[C]ay

[G]And I[D] don't know w[Am7]hy they say gr[C]own men don't c[G]ry  [D]     [Am7]          [C]             [G]
[D]I don't know w[Am7]hy they say gr[C]own men do[G]n't cr[D]y   [Am7]        [C]

Keep [G]having this dream a[D]bout my old man
I'm [Am7]ten years old, and he's h[C]olding my[G] hand[D]   [Am7]        [C]
We're [G]talking on the front[D] porch watching the s[Am7]un go down
[C]But it was just a dr[G]eam he was a sl[D]ave to his job and c[Am7]ouldn't be aro[C]und
[G]So many th[D]ings I wanna [Am7]say to h[C]im
But I just p[G]laced a ro[D]se on his grave, and I ta[Am7]lked to t[C]he wind

[G]And I[D] don't know w[Am7]hy they say gr[C]own men don't c[G]ry [D]    [Am7]         [C]            [G]
[D]I don't know w[Am7]hy they say g[C]rown men do[G]n't cry, d[D]on't cry [Am7]      [C]

Instramental:  [Bb]   [F]   [Dm]  [C]  [Bb]  [F]  [D]

I'm si[G]tting here with my k[D]ids and my wife
And ev[Am7]erything that [C]I hold dear in my [G]life[D]   [Am7]        [C]
W[G]e say grace and we tha[D]nk the lord
Got [Am7]so much to be tha[C]nkful for
Then it's[G] up the st[D]airs and off to [Am7]bed and my little g[C]irl says
[G]I have[D]n't had my [Am7]story yet[C]
[G]Everything we[D]ighing on my m[Am7]ind dissapear[C]s just like t[G]hat
When she lifts her he[D]ad off her pillow an[Am7]d says...I love you dad

[D]I don't know [Am7]why they say g[C]rown men don't c[G]ry [D]    [Am7]         [C]            [G]
[D]I don't know [Am7]why they say g[C]rown men do[G]n't c[D]ry  [Am7]       [C]
[G]And [D]I don't know [Am7]why they say g[C]rown men don't c[G]ry [D]    [Am7]         [C]            [G]
[D]I don't know [Am7]why they say g[C]rown men do[G]n't cry, d[D]on't cry [Am7]      [C]
