[Verse 1]
      G             D
I'm standin', in a jolly crowd
                     G
Jokin', laughin', a little too loud
 C                                           G
Lookin' like a model of a man that's got it made
                    D
But my repartee is just to the skies
                   G
All the hurt I'm tryin' to hide
            C           D               G
'Cause I'm cryin', I'm cryin', cryin' inside


[Verse 2]
     G            D
I'm sittin' in a restaurant
                          G
A few old friends in our favourite home
         C                         G
And I'm wearin' a suit of deepest blue
                                  D
I've been wise-crackin' like the good old days
                           G
But pretty soon I'm gonna slip away
     C                  D                 G
And walk myself right back to my lonely room


[Bridge]
C
Everybody knows
                         G
A man's not supposed to cry
            G
And if you look at my face
                        C
You'll see my cheek is dry


[Verse 3]
   G                    D
I wish sometimes they'd cut me some slack
                                      G
'Cause they don't know while they're slappin' my back
     C               D               G
I'm cryin', cry-cry-cryin', cryin' inside.  Whoa, here come the tears…

           C
We-he-ell, everybody knows
                         G
A man's not supposed to cry, cry-cry-cry
      G
So behind this grin I'm holdin' it in
                    C                   D
Up until I say goodbye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye


[Verse 4]
         G                     D
Well, I wish sometimes they'd cut me some slack
                                      G
'Cause they don't know while they're slappin' my back
       C    D              G
I'm a-cry-i-in', cryin' insi-i-ide
                  C       D        G
Nobody knows I'm cryin', cryin' inside
                                  C
I'm the life and the soul of the party
     D                        G    C G D G
Sometimes while I'm cryin' inside
