Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D A
I might've been 7 or 8 in the back yard
G
In the house where we grew up
D A
Trying to keep up with the older boys
G
And we were playing rough
D A
Daddy found me skinned up knees
G
Saw the tears swelling in my eyes
D
Said son, grin and bear it
A G D
Rub some dirt in it but boys don't cry
[Verse 2]
D A G
Was 13 and my baseball team was down to the final out
D A
It was all on me and called strike three
G
Was nothing much to smile about
D A
I threw my glove, kicked up dust
G
While the other kids got in line
D A G D
Daddy said be a man, go shake hands 'cause boys don't cry
[Chorus]
D A
Well it ain't fair but life is tough
G D
And this old world's already cruel enough
D A G
Don't let 'em see the pain in your eyes
D A G
No boys don't cry
[Verse 3]
D A G
I was 33 when she told me after 7 years of our lives
D A
If love's still there its beyond repair
G
And I'm at the end of the line
D A
Since the day I met her we'd been together
G
But Daddy said just give it time
D A
And don't shed a tear let's have another beer
G D
'Cause boys don't cry
[Chorus]
D A
Well it ain't fair but life is tough
G D
And this old world's already cruel enough
D A G
Don't let 'em see the pain in your eyes
D A G
No boys don't cry
[Instrumental]
D A G D A G
[Bridge]
D A G
I did my best to live right by those words
D A G
And I'd think of him every time I'd hurt
[Verse 5]
D A
But time don't wait he was 68
G
Daddy's hanging on for dear life
D A
I was there with my brother, all holding each other
G
As the light faded in his eyes
D A G
And he just said boys don't cry
[Chorus]
D A
No it ain't fair but life is tough
G D
And this old world's already cruel enough
D A G
Don't let 'em see the pain in your eyes
[Outro]
D A G
No boys don't cry
D A G
No boys don't cry
