[A A] I would say I'm [Bm Bm] sorry if I [C#m C#m] thought that is would [Dmaj Dmaj] change your mind
[A A] But I know that [Bm Bm] this time I have [C#m C#m] said to much been [Dmaj Dmaj] too unkind

[A A] I tried to [Bm Bm] laugh about it
[A A] cover it all up with [Bm Bm] lies
[A A] I tried to [Bm Bm] laugh about it
[A A] hiding the tears in my [Bm Bm] eyes

Cos [A A] boys don't cry [Bm Bm] [C#m C#m] [Dmaj Dmaj] [Dmaj Dmaj] [C#m C#m] [Bm Bm] [A A]
[A A] Boys [Bm Bm] don't [C#m C#m] cry [Dmaj Dmaj] [Dmaj Dmaj] [C#m C#m] [Bm Bm] [A A]


[A A] I would break down [Bm Bm] at your feet and [C#m C#m] beg forgiveness [Dmaj Dmaj] plead with you
[A A] but I know that [Bm Bm] it's too late and [C#m C#m] now there's nothing [Dmaj Dmaj] I can do


[A A] I tried to [Bm Bm] laugh about it
[A A] cover it all up with [Bm Bm] lies
[A A] I tried to [Bm Bm] laugh about it
[A A] hiding the tears in my [Bm Bm] eyes

Cos [A A] boys don't cry [Bm Bm] [C#m C#m] [Dmaj Dmaj] [Dmaj Dmaj] [C#m C#m] [Bm Bm] [A A]
[A A] Boys [Bm Bm] don't [C#m C#m] cry [Dmaj Dmaj] [Dmaj Dmaj] [C#m C#m] [Bm Bm] [A A]


[A A] I would tell you [Bm Bm] that I loved you [C#m C#m] If I thought that [Dmaj Dmaj] you would stay
[A A] but I know that [Bm Bm] it's no use and [C#m C#m] you've already [Dmaj Dmaj] gone away

(BRIDGE)

[E E] misjudged your [F#m F#m] limits
[E E] pushed you to [F#m F#m] far
[E E] took you for [F#m F#m] granted
[D D] thought that you needed me [E E] more more more now

[A A] I would do most [Bm Bm] anything to [C#m C#m] get you back by my [Dmaj Dmaj] side
[A A] But I just [Bm Bm] keep on laughing [C#m C#m] hiding the tears in my [Dmaj Dmaj] eyes

Cos [A A] boys don't cry [Bm Bm] [C#m C#m] [Dmaj Dmaj] [Dmaj Dmaj] [C#m C#m] [Bm Bm] [A A]
[A A] Boys [Bm Bm] don't [C#m C#m] cry [Dmaj Dmaj] [Dmaj Dmaj] [C#m C#m] [Bm Bm] [A A]

About this song: Boys Don't Cry

"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 [his] eyes, 'cause boys don't cry".
