Boys Don't Cry - The Cure

I would say I'm sorry if I thought   [Verse]

That it would change your mind        E   F#m

But I know that this time             G#m A

I have said too much, been too unkind

                                      [Link]

(() I try to laugh about it           G#m F#m

 (Cover it all up with lies/          G#m F#m

  Hiding the tears in my eyes) x2)

                                      [Hook]

'Cause (boys don't cry - … x2)    E  F#m  G#m

                                  A-A>G#m>F#m

I would break down at your feet

And beg forgiveness, plead with you

But I know that it's too late           (So)

And now there's nothing I can do      [Link]

                                      [Hook]

I would tell you that I loved you

If I thought that you would stay

But I know that it's no use         [Intro

And you're already gone away           Hook]

                                        (x4)

[Bridge] (B C#m7 x3)  - A B

Misjudged your limits - Pushed you too far

Took you for granted

I thought that you needed me (more x3)


Now, I would do 'most anything

To get you back by my side

But I just keep on laughing    [Hook] (x3)

Hiding the tears in my eyes    [Intro - Rit]
