[Intro] Ab Absus4 Ab Absus4 [Verse 1]
Ab            Absus4             Ab
  I've gone so far from my home

             Ab/Bb   Ab/C            Absus4/Db
I've seen the       world and I have known

           Bbm11   Absus4/Db
So many secrets

             Absus4/Gb  Ebsus4
I wish now I did not   know

Ab                  Absus4             Ab
  'Cause they have crept into my heart

            Ab/Bb  Ab/C       Absus4/Db
They have left    it cold and dark

      Bbm11   Absus4/Db
And bleeding

             Absus4/Gb  Ebsus4
Bleeding and falling apart
[Chorus]
         Ab                       Absus4
And everybody used to tell me big boys don't cry

           Ab                          Absus4
Well, I've been around enough to know that that was the lie

     Fm                                   Db                Ebsus4  Eb
That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons

             Ab                        Absus4
Well, we are children no more, we have sinned and grown old

        Ab                        Absus4
And our Father still waits and He watches down the road

           Fm                Db                 Ebsus4  Eb
To see the crying boys come running back to His arms

               Ab        Absus4             Ab
And be growing young, nah, nah growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah
[Verse 2]
Ab            Absus4             Ab
  I've seen silver turn to dross

        Ab/Bb   Ab/C                Absus4/Db
Seen the       very best there ever was

           Bbm11   Absus4/Db
And I'll tell you

         Absus4/Gb     Ebsus4
It ain't worth what it costs

Ab          Absus4                 Ab
   And I remember my father's house

        Ab/Bb  Ab/C               Absus4/Db
What I would  - n't give right now

           Bbm11   Absus4/Db
Just to see him

                             Absus4/Gb   Ebsus4
And hear him tell me that he loves me so much
[Chorus]
         Ab                       Absus4
And everybody used to tell me big boys don't cry

           Ab                          Absus4
Well, I've been around enough to know that that was the lie

     Fm                                   Db                Ebsus4  Eb
That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons

             Ab                        Absus4
Well, we are children no more, we have sinned and grown old

        Ab                        Absus4
And our Father still waits and He watches down the road

           Fm                Db                 Ebsus4  Eb
To see the crying boys come running back to His arms

               Ab        Absus4             Ab
And be growing young, nah, nah growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah
[Bridge]
Eb/Db         Db                    Cm7
  And when I thought that I was all alone

                                           Db2
It was Your voice I heard calling me back home

      Fm7            Db                    Gb*     Ebsus Eb
And I wonder now Lord, what was it made me wait so long

Eb/Db               Db                       Cm7
  And what kept You waiting for me all that time

                                        Db2
Was Your love stronger than my foolish pride?

          Fm         Db                        Gb       Ebsus Eb
Will You take me back, take me back and let me be Your child?

Ab                    Absus4            Ab
  'Cause I've been broken now i've been saved

           Ab/Bb  Ab/C                       Absus4/Db
I've learned to cry and i've learned how to pray

           Bbm11   Absus4/Db
And I'm learning

                  Absus4/Gb  Ebsus4
I'm learning even I can be   changed
[Chorus]
         Ab                       Absus4
And everybody used to tell me big boys don't cry

           Ab                          Absus4
Well, I've been around enough to know that that was the lie

     Fm                                   Db                Ebsus4  Eb
That held back the tears in the eyes of a thousand prodigal sons

             Ab                        Absus4
Well, we are children no more, we have sinned and grown old

        Ab                        Absus4
And our Father still waits and He watches down the road

           Fm                Db                 Ebsus4  Eb
To see the crying boys come running back to His arms

               Ab                 Absus4    Ab
And be growing young, nah, nah, nah growing young, nah, nah, nah, nah
