I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind

I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
C#m               Bm         C#m                     Bm
    I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes

     A  Bm  C#m  D5 (D5  C#m  Bm  A) (2x)
Cos' boys don't cry
     Boys don't cry

A               Bm         C#m                    D5
I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
A               Bm         C#m                    D5
But I know that it's too late and now there's nothing left that I can do
C#m             Bm         C#m                    Bm
So I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
C#m               Bm         C#m                 Bm
I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes

(Chorus)

A               Bm         C#m                    D5
I would tell you that I loved you if I thought that you would stay
A               Bm         C#m                    D5
But I know that it's no use that you've already gone away

E               F#m      E               F#m
 Misjudged your limit,  pushed you too far
E             F#m      Bm                  E
 Took you for granted, I thought that you needed me more
A               Bm         C#m                    D5
Now I would do most anything to get you back to my side
A               Bm         C#m                    D5
But I just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes
