    the cure-boys dont cry

    The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
    INTRO: A Bm C#m D D-C#m-Bm-A x4
    A                Bm
    I would say I'm sorry
         C#m                    D
    If I thought that it would change your mind
    A               Bm
    But I know that this time
           C#m
    I have said too much
         D           C#m
    Been too unkind
             Bm
    I try to laugh about it
    C#m                  Bm       C#m
    Cover it all up with lies
             Bm
    I try to laugh about it
    C#m                    Bm
    Hiding the tears in my eyes
               A   Bm     C#m      D     D-C#m-Bm-
    'Cause boys... doon't cry
    A    Bm    C#m     D D-C#m-Bm-
    Boys don't cry
    A                  Bm
    I would break down at your feet
        C#m
    And beg forgiveness
    D
    Plead with you
    A
    But I know that
    Bm
    It's too late
        C#m                 D          C#m
    And now there's nothing I can do
                Bm
    So I try to laugh about it
    C#m                  Bm         C#m
    Cover it all up with lies
             Bm
    I try to laugh about it
    C#m                    Bm
    Hiding the tears in my eyes
           A    Bm      C#m    D D-C#m-Bm-
    'Cause boys don't cry
    A    Bm    C#m     D D-C#m-Bm-
    Boys don't cry
    A
    I would tell you
    Bm
    That I loved you
    C#m               D
    If I thought that you would stay
    A               Bm
    But I know that it's no use
         C#m
    That you've already
    D
    Gone away
    E                F#m F#m7
      Misjudged your limits
    E                F#m F#m7
      Pushed you too far
    E              F#m F#m7
      Took you for granted
      D                          E
    I thought that you needed me more, more, more
        A               Bm
    Now I would do most anything
       C#m                D
    To get you back by my side
    A
    But I just
    Bm
    Keep on laughing
    C#m                    D
    Hiding the tears in my eyes
          A   Bm     C#m    D D-C#m-Bm-
    Cause boys  don't cry
    A    Bm    C#m   D D-C#m-Bm-A
    Boys don't cry
    Bm       C#m     D D-C#m-Bm-A
      Boys don't cry
    A Bm C#m D D-C#m-Bm-A~

    the cure/a forest...


    This is my variant to play A Forest...
    E ... C ... Am ... E ...
    I only play the deep strings.
            E
    1. Come closer and see
    C
    see into the trees
    Am
    Find the girl
              E
    While you can
         E
    Come closer and see
    C
    See into the dark
         Am
    Just follow your eyes
         E
    Just follow your eyes
    (play the chords ...)
         E
    2. I hear her voice
    C
    Callin' my name
        Am
    the sound is deep
           E
    in the dark
      E
    I hear her voice
        C
    and start to run
    Am
    into the trees
    E            C     Am E
    ... into the trees
    (play the chords ... longer)
       E                
    3. Suddenly I stoped
    (play the E only one time and then wait a while like in blank and jones)
          C
    But I know it is too late
         Am
    I am lost in a forest
         E
    all alone
        E
    the girl was never there
         C
    it's always the same
        Am
    I'm running towards nothin'
     E
    Again and again and again and again and
        C
    again and again and again and again and
        Am
    again and again and again and again and
     E
    again!
    (play the chords ...)
    I don't have my own end, just play the E at the end...
