 A              Bm            C#m                        [D-C#m-Bm-A]
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

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

I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late and now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it hiding the tears in my eyes
Cos boys don't cry

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             F#m-F#m7 E              F#m-F#m7
Misjudged your limits, pushed you too far
  Em            F#m-F#m7    D                       E
Took you for granted, I thought that you needed me more

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
Cos boys don't cry      Boys don't cry
