Verse 1:

AbAb      Absus4Absus4       AbAb
 I've gone so far from my home
       Ab/Bb  Ab/C      Absus4/Db
I've seen the    world and I have known
      Bbm11Bbm11  Absus4/Db
So many secrets
       Absus4/Gb Ebsus4Ebsus4
I wish now I did not  know
AbAb         Absus4Absus4       AbAb
 'Cause they have crept into my heart
      Ab/Bb Ab/C    Absus4/Db
They have left  it cold and dark
   Bbm11Bbm11  Absus4/Db
And bleeding
       Absus4/Gb Ebsus4Ebsus4
Bleeding and falling apart

Chorus:

     AbAb            Absus4Absus4
And everybody used to tell me big boys don't cry
      AbAb             Absus4Absus4
Well, I've been around enough to know that that was the lie
   F minorFm                  DbDb        Ebsus4Ebsus4 Eb MajorEb
That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons
       AbAb            Absus4Absus4
Well, we are children no more, we have sinned and grown old
    AbAb            Absus4Absus4
And our Father still waits and He watches down the road
      F minorFm        DbDb         Ebsus4Ebsus4 Eb MajorEb
To see the crying boys come running back to His arms
        AbAb    Absus4Absus4       AbAb
And be growing young, nah, nah growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah


Verse 2:

AbAb      Absus4Absus4       AbAb
 I've seen silver turn to dross
    Ab/Bb  Ab/C        Absus4/Db
Seen the    very best there ever was
      Bbm11Bbm11  Absus4/Db
And I'll tell you
     Absus4/Gb   Ebsus4Ebsus4
It ain't worth what it costs
AbAb     Absus4Absus4         AbAb
  And I remember my father's house
    Ab/Bb Ab/C        Absus4/Db
What I would - n't give right now
      Bbm11Bbm11  Absus4/Db
Just to see him
               Absus4/Gb  Ebsus4Ebsus4
And hear him tell me that he loves me so much

Chorus:

     AbAb            Absus4Absus4
And everybody used to tell me big boys don't cry

Well, I've been around enough to know that that was the lie
   F minorFm                  DbDb        Ebsus4Ebsus4 Eb MajorEb
That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons
       AbAb            Absus4Absus4
Well, we are children no more, we have sinned and grown old
    AbAb            Absus4Absus4
And our Father still waits and He watches down the road
      F minorFm        DbDb         Ebsus4Ebsus4 Eb MajorEb
To see the crying boys come running back to His arms
        AbAb    Absus4Absus4       AbAb
And be growing young, nah, nah growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah


Bridge:

Eb/Db     DbDb          Cm7Cm7
 And when I thought that I was all alone
                      Db2
It was Your voice I heard calling me back home
   Fm7Fm7      DbDb          Gb*   Ebsus Eb MajorEb
And I wonder now Lord, what was it made me wait so long
Eb/Db        DbDb            Cm7Cm7
 And what kept You waiting for me all that time
                    Db2
Was Your love stronger than my foolish pride?
     F minorFm     DbDb            GbGb    Ebsus Eb MajorEb
Will You take me back, take me back and let me be Your child?


AbAb          Absus4Absus4      AbAb
 'Cause I've been broken now i've been saved
      Ab/Bb Ab/C            Absus4/Db
I've learned to cry and i've learned how to pray
      Bbm11Bbm11  Absus4/Db
And I'm learning
         Absus4/Gb Ebsus4Ebsus4
I'm learning even I can be  changed
