C                Dm
I would say I'm sorry 

     Em                              F
If I thought that it would change your mind

C               Dm
But I know that this time
    
      Em   
I've said too much

       F
Been too unkind


Em       F
I try to laugh about it

Em                         F
Cover it all up with lies

Em 
I try and

Laugh about it

Em
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Boys don't cry


Em                    F
Misjudged your limits

Pushed you too far

Em                F
Took you for granted

Em
I thought that you needed me more

"Boys Don't Cry" was the second single to be released by The Cure, released in June 1979. It was released in the UK as a stand-alone single but was included as the title track on Boys Don't Cry, the American equivalent to Three Imaginary Boys. Written by Michael Dempsey, Robert Smith, and Lol Tolhurst, the lyrics tell the story of a man who has given up trying to regain the love of a girl that he has lost, and tries to disguise his true emotional state by "i try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in eyes, 'cause boys don't cry".
