🎸 Verse 1:
    E MajorE     F#F#   G# minorG#m
I see a boy with a big guitar
       E MajorE      F#F#    BB  D#mD#m
and though he can't quite reach the notes
     E MajorE     F#F#    G# minorG#m
still he sings with all his heart
      F#F#
the saddest words he knows

🎸 Verse 2:
     E MajorE     F#F#    G# minorG#m
There's a weakness behind his eyes
     E MajorE   F#F#   BB D#m/A#
he's supposed to never show
   E MajorE   F#F#    G# minorG#m
I can see how hard he tries
       F#F#
to let it all go

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    E MajorE            F#F#
Hold it back, keep it in, let it die
       D#mD#m         G# minorG#m
Son, have you ever see a real man cry?
 E MajorE                 F#F#        G# minorG#m
I promise you, the world will never ever really understand

🎸 Chorus:
F#F#      E MajorE     F#F#   G# minorG#m
 And now the tear goes up in flames
    E MajorE    F#F#     BB D#m/A#
and the sadness leaves him burning
    E MajorE    F#F#    G# minorG#m F#/A#
but its hard to fight the shame
   E MajorE     F#F#  G# minorG#m
so a tear goes up in flames

🎸 Verse 3:
     E MajorE       F#F#     G# minorG#m
I see him banner with a crooked smile
        E MajorE  F#F#    BB D#mD#m
it's like he's too afraid to feel
      E MajorE   F#F#     G# minorG#m
The sort of wound he tries to hide
         F#F#
just wont let him heal

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     E MajorE          F#F#
Brush it off, do whatever it takes
    D#mD#m            G# minorG#m
no one wants to see a strong man break
   E MajorE             F#F#            G# minorG#m
it's easier to love him than to never ever really make mistakes
       E MajorE             F#F#
The boy grows up and he writes one more song
     D#mD#m              G# minorG#m
the most heartfelt song that he's ever sung
    E MajorE                F#F#    BB
and it sets him free to let his biggest hero die young

🎸 Chorus:
      E MajorE     F#F#   G# minorG#m
And now the tear goes up in flames
    E MajorE    F#F#     BB D#mD#m
and the sadness leaves him burning
    E MajorE    F#F#    G# minorG#m F#F#
but its hard to fight the shame
   E MajorE     F#F#  BB
so a tear goes up in flames
