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
