(Simple version for acoustic guitar)
Em Asus
The sound of thunder crashed down the alleyway
Em Asus
Who can remember the last time it rained
C D
As you pushed through the crowd
C D
Into the mean streets of town
C D Em
There was something I needed to explain
Em Asus
You accuse my of having a heart that was made of stone
Em Asus
I'm hard on the outside, that's how I survive
C D
Baby deep in my soul
C D
Is where you had complete control
C D G
But you'll never see a teardrop in my eye
[Chorus:]
G D
Don't ask why...
C D G
Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry
G D
The world's greatest lie
C D Em
Is that all of us tough guys don't cry

Em Asus
It's three thirty-seven, just me and my empty glass
Em Asus
My vision is blurred, it's so hard to see
C D
Was I really so blind
C D
Was I out of my mind
C D G
But you'll never hear my apology
[Chorus:]
G D
Don't ask why...
C D G
Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry
G D
The world's greatest lie
C D Em
Is that all of us tough guys don't cry
Em
I'm a tough guy on the outside
And I'm cryin' on the inside
Hear me cry...
[Solo]
G D C D G
[Chorus:]
G D
Don't ask why...
C D G
Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry
G D
The world's greatest lie
C D Em
Is that all of us tough guys don't cry
Em C D Em
You know all of us tough guys don't cry
Yes we all know that tough guys don't cry
Yes we all know that tough guys don't cry
Yes we all know that tough guys don't cry...
