Area 7
“Boys don’t cry”
[Originally by The Cure]
- First verse repeats
- First time the Bass is the center then when it repeats, the whole band comes in blazing.
- G Am Bm C is played between the repeat of the first verse
G Am
Well I would say I'm sorry
Bm C
If I thought that it would change your mind
G Am Bm
But I know that this time I have said too much
C
Been too unkind
Bm Am Bm Am
So I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
Bm Am
Yeah I try to laugh about it
Bm Am
Hiding the tears in my eyes (repeat verse)
[Chorus]
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Because boys don't cry
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Boys don't cry
G Am
I would break down at your feet
Bm C
And beg forgiveness, Plead with you
G Am
But I know that it's too late
Bm C
And now there's nothing I can do
Bm Am Bm Am
So I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
Bm Am
Yeah I try to laugh about it
Bm Am
Hiding the tears in my eyes
[Chorus]
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Because boys don't cry
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Boys don't cry
G Am
I would tell you that I loved you
Bm C
If I thought that you would stay
G Am
But I know that it's too late
Bm C
And you've already gone away
D Em
Misjudged your limits
D Em
Pushed you too far
D Em
Took you for granted
C D
I thought that you needed me more
G Am
I would do most anything
Bm C
To get you back by my side
G Am
But I just keep on laughing
Bm C
And hiding the tears in my eyes
[Chorus]
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Because boys don't cry
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Boys don't cry
G Am Bm C C Bm Am
Boys don't cry
G Am Bm C C Bm Am G
Boys don't cry
G Am Bm C C Bm Am G
G Am Bm C
