Intro: G D Am7 C (x2)
[G]I pulled into the s[D]hopping center
And [Am7]saw a little boy w[C]rapped around the le[G]gs of his mo[D]the[Am7]r[C]
Like i[G]ce cream melting t[D]hey embraced
[Am7]Years of bad deci[C]sions running down h[G]er fac[D]e[Am7][C]
[G]All morning I'd been th[D]inking my lifes's so h[Am7]ard
And th[C]ey wore everthing they o[G]wn, l[D]iving in a ca[Am7]r[C]
I wan[G]ted to te[D]ll him it would [Am7]be oka[C]y
But I just got[G] in my subu[D]rban and I d[Am7]rove aw[C]ay
Chorus:
[G]And I[D] don't know w[Am7]hy they say gr[C]own men don't c[G]ry[D][Am7][C][G]
[D]I don't know w[Am7]hy they say gr[C]own men do[G]n't cr[D]y[Am7][C]
Keep [G]having this dream a[D]bout my old man
I'm [Am7]ten years old, and he's h[C]olding my[G] hand[D][Am7][C]
We're [G]talking on the front[D] porch watching the s[Am7]un go down
[C]But it was just a dr[G]eam he was a sl[D]ave to his job and c[Am7]ouldn't be aro[C]und
[G]So many th[D]ings I wanna [Am7]say to h[C]im
But I just p[G]laced a ro[D]se on his grave, and I ta[Am7]lked to t[C]he wind
Chorus:
[G]And I[D] don't know w[Am7]hy they say gr[C]own men don't c[G]ry[D][Am7][C][G]
[D]I don't know w[Am7]hy they say g[C]rown men do[G]n't cry, d[D]on't cry[Am7][C]
Instramental: Bb F Dm C Bb F D
I'm si[G]tting here with my k[D]ids and my wife
And ev[Am7]erything that [C]I hold dear in my [G]life[D][Am7][C]
W[G]e say grace and we tha[D]nk the lord
Got [Am7]so much to be tha[C]nkful for
Then it's[G] up the st[D]airs and off to [Am7]bed and my little g[C]irl says
[G]I have[D]n't had my [Am7]story yet[C]
[G]Everything we[D]ighing on my m[Am7]ind dissapear[C]s just like t[G]hat
D Am7(Strummed once)
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says...I love you dad
[D]I don't know [Am7]why they say g[C]rown men don't c[G]ry[D][Am7][C][G]
[D]I don't know [Am7]why they say g[C]rown men do[G]n't c[D]ry[Am7][C]
