                               Boys Don't Cry

                                                                  The Cure

A Bm C#m D   D C#m Bm (x4)
      A               Bm
      I would say I'm sorry
           C#m                   D
      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
                I try to laugh about it
                C#m                  Bm
                Cover it all up with lies
                C#m       D
                I try and laugh about it
                C#m                    Bm
                Hiding the tears in my eyes

                                  A    Bm    C#m D   D C#m Bm
                          Because 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 it's too late
      And now there is 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

                          Because boys don't cry
                          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  add2
                                    Misjudged your limit
                                    Pushed you too far
                                    Took you for granted
                                    D                        (E)(D)(C#)(B)
                                    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

                          Because boys don't cry
                          Boys don't cry
                          Boys don't cry...
