Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

you sit there on the couch,

sipping your scotch and ice

you turn the TV on

and tune me out again

Chorus

 so what would you say to me

 if you could talk to me

 you could ask anything

 i wouldn't lie

 but you're okay with this

 damaging awkwardness

 so i'll just play it safe

 and keep it inside

 boys don't cry

I used to hold your hand

So tight there was no question

But now even when you're near

I've never felt so alone

REPEAT CHORUS except last line

 Boys Don’t Cry

 Boys Don’t Cry, Boys Don’t Cry, Yeah

 Boys Don’t Cry, Boys don’t cry, Yeah

Bridge

if you stand beside me

i'll keep you in my life

tell me how much you love me

and i'll be just fine

 don't be afraid of me...

(REPEAT CHORUS except last line)

 Boys Don’t Cry

 Boys Don’t Cry, Boys Don’t Cry, Yeah

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-hehey, Yeah, (2X)

End on D
