Intro: G D Am7 C (x2)
G D
I pulled into the shopping center
Am7 C G D Am7 C
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
G D
Like ice cream melting they embraced
Am7 C G D Am7 C
Years of bad decisions running down her face
G D Am7
All morning I'd been thinking my lifes's so hard
C G D Am7 C
And they wore everthing they own, living in a car
G D Am7 C
I wanted to tell him it would be okay
G D Am7 C
But I just got in my suburban and I drove away
Chorus:
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
G D
Keep having this dream about my old man
Am7 C G D Am7 C
I'm ten years old, and he's holding my hand
G D Am7
We're talking on the front porch watching the sun go down
C G D Am7 C
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and couldn't be around
G D Am7 C
So many things I wanna say to him
G D Am7 C
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talked to the wind
Chorus:
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
Instramental: Bb F Dm C Bb F D
G D
I'm sitting here with my kids and my wife
Am7 C G D Am7 C
And everything that I hold dear in my life
G D
We say grace and we thank the lord
Am7 C
Got so much to be thankful for
G D Am7 C
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says
G D Am7 C
I haven't had my story yet
G D Am7 C G
Everything weighing on my mind dissapears just like that
D Am7(Strummed once)
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says...I love you dad
D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
OUTRO: G D (x3) End on a G
