Intro: G D Am7 C (x2) Verse 1
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 life’s so hard

      C                       G    D            Am7  C
And they wore everything 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
Verse 2
    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 want to 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
BRIDGE – INSTRUMENTAL FILL Bb F Dm C Bb F D Verse 3
      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 disappears just like that
D Am7(Strummed once) When she lifts her head off her pillow and says...I love you dad CHORUS
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
