Verse:
   A               Bm
 I would say I'm sorry

  If I thought that it would change your mind
  A                 Bm
 But I know that this time
         C#m                   D
 I have said too much, been too unkind

Pre-Chorus:
C#m         Bm             C#m                      Bm

C#m         Bm             C#m                        Bm
 I try to laugh about it hiding the tears in my eyes

 Boys don't cry

Verse:
   A                  Bm
 I would break down at your feet
     C#m                 D
 And beg forgiveness plead with you
  A                      Bm
 But I know that it's too late
     C#m                    D
 And now there's nothing I can do

Verse:
   A                 Bm
 I would tell you that I loved you
C#m                   D
 If I thought that you would stay
  A                Bm
 But I know that it's no use
        C#m             D
 That you've already gone away

Bridge:
E                 F#m7
 Misjudged your limits
E                 F#m7
 Pushed you too far
E                 F#m7
 Took you for granted
E
 I thought that you needed me more

Verse:
      A                Bm
 Now I would do most anything
    C#m                    D
 To get you back by my side
  A           Bm
 But I just keep on laughing
 C#m                        D
 Hiding the tears in my eyes
