GROWN MEN DON'T CRY Tim McGraw
A# F
I pulled into the shopping center
D# A# F D#
and saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
A# F
Like ice cream melting they embrace
D$ A# F D#
Years of bad decisions running down her face
A# F
All morning I've been thinking my life's so hard.
D#
They wore everything they own, living in a car
A# F
I wanted to tell them it would be o.k.
D# D#
But I just got in my surburban And I drove away
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# F
Keep having this dream about my old man.
D# A# F D#
I'm ten years old and he's holding my hand
A# F
We're talking on the front porch watching the sun go down
A#
But It's just a dream
D#
He was a slave to his job and he couldn't be round
A# F
So many things I want to say to him
D#
But I just place a rose on his grave and I talk to no end
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# D# A# D# F
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry don't cry
Lead chords: C# G# D# C# D# F
A# F
I'm sitting here with my kids and my wife
D# A# D# F
And everything that I hold dear in my life
A# F
We say Grace and thank the Lord
D#
Got so much to be thankful for
A# F
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed
D# (D#)
And my little girl says I haven't had my story yet
A# F D# A#
Everything weighing on my mind disappears just like that
D# n.c. D#
When she lifts her head off the pillow and says I love you dad.
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# D# A# F D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry
A# D# A# D#
I don't know know why they say grown men don't cry don't cry
