(Simple version for acoustic guitar)
[Em]The sound of thunder crashed down the al[Asus]leyway
[Em]Who can remember the last time it raine[Asus]d
As you pushed[C] through the c[D]rowd
Into the mea[C]n streets of to[D]wn
There was som[C]ething I neede[D]d to explain[Em]
[Em]You accuse my of having a heart that was made of [Asus]stone
[Em]I'm hard on the outside, that's how I survive[Asus]
Baby deep in[C] my soul[D]
Is where you h[C]ad complete con[D]trol
But you'll never[C] see a teardrop [D]in my eye[G]
(Chorus:)
[G]Don't ask why[D]...
Cause [C]we all know that tou[D]gh guys don't cry[G]
[G]The world's greatest lie[D]
Is that al[C]l of us to[D]ugh guys don't cr[Em]y
[Em]It's three thirty-seven, just me and my emp[Asus]ty glass
[Em]My vision is blurred, it's so hard to[Asus] see
Was I really[C] so bli[D]nd
Was I ou[C]t of my[D] mind
But you'l[C]l never hear m[D]y apolo[G]gy
(Chorus:)
[G]Don't ask why[D]...
Cause [C]we all know that tou[D]gh guys don't cry[G]
[G]The world's greatest lie[D]
Is that al[C]l of us to[D]ugh guys don't cr[Em]y
[Em]I'm a tough guy on the outside
And I'm cryin' on the inside
Hear me cry...
(Solo)
