VERSE 2:

(after verse 1 both rhythm guitars kick in with a little slide on the low e-string - this ultra-cool thing that guitarists just do - listen to it with headphones and you'll hear what I mean)

(and now scratch with your pick over the low snares)
This verse is very easy to play. Just do nothing.


I would tell you...

E-|------------------------------------------------------|
     Misjudged your limits...


e-|--------6-6----------8------------------------------|

A-|--6--6--6-6-6--8--8--8--8---4--4--4--4--6--6--6--6--|
E-|----------------------------------------------------|
     I took you for granted...




VERSE 4:
like Verse 2 (so it's just the main riff without the lead)

Now I would do most anything...



CHORUS:
It's pretty the same as the previous chorus, but the lead varies a little (it's nothing new). If you listen to the record there won't be any problems I think.


C'est ca.


LYRICS:

Verse 1:
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much / Been too unkind

Verse 2:
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness / Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

Interlude:
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes ('cause)

Chorus:
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

Verse 3:
I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already gone away

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

Verse 4:
Now I would do most anything 
To get you back by my side 
But I just keep on laughing 
Hiding the tears in my eyes ('cause)

Chorus:
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
