[verse]
C#m
I always thought I was the strong one
B
Who had the faith when you had doubt
C#m
I was the one to hide my feelings
B
You were the one to let them out
        G#m
My daddy taught me, "Son, be tough and strong"
        F#
That is what I tried to do
           C#m
But you're telling me, girl, that you can't live like this
            F#
And that you might be leaving soon

[chorus]
            B
Do real men cry?
                            D#m
I never thought that it was true
              E
Maybe I could tough this one out 
                    F#
Be strong enough to make it through  
                             B                     E
But now there's tears in the eyes of this stubborn fool
            B
Do real men cry?
              F#                 B
Baby, now you know that real men do

[verse]
C#m
I assumed you knew that I would love you 
B
and be your rock through thick and thin
C#m
I've always been a man of few words 
B
when what you needed was a friend
             G#m
I thought if I stood tall just like a wall
         F#
it would all be good enough
             C#m
Please let me hold you now and promise you, girl
         F#
that I'm through with acting tough

[chorus]
            B
Do real men cry?
                            D#m
I never thought that it was true
              E
Maybe I could tough this one out 
                    F#
Be strong enough to make it through                         
                             B
But now there's tears in the eyes 
                 E  E/D#  C#m
of this stubborn fool
            B
Do real men cry?
              F#                 B
Baby, now you know that real men do
            B
Do real men cry?

Baby, now you know that real men do
