	        **** 
 
Intro: G  D  Am7  C (x2) 
 
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 runnin' down her face 
G                     D                    Am7 
All mornin' I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard 
    C                        G     D             Am7  C 
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car 
  G         D                Am7  C 
I wanted to tell him it would be okay 
              G            D            Am7    C 
But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away 
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
 
     G                 D 
Keep having this dream about my old man 
   Am7                     C         G    D  Am7  C 
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand 
     G                    D                   Am7 
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down 
C                 G              D                      Am7           C 
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around 
G        D             Am7     C 
So many things I wanna say to him 
           G        D                        Am7   C 
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talked to the wind 
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
 
Instrumental:  Bb    F    Dm  C  Bb  F  D 
 
 
    G                    D 
I'm sittin' 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 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 weighin' on my mind disappears just like that 
                   D                  Am7        (no chord) 
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says, 'I love you Dad' 
 
G  D  Am7  C  G 
 
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
