[Verse 1]
G               Am
I would say I’m sorry
        Bm                C
If I thought that it would change your mind
G               Am
But I know that this time
      Bm
I’ve said too much
     C
Been too unkind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 Bm      Am
 I try to laugh about it
 Bm                  Am
Cover it all up with lies
 Bm      Am
I try to laugh about it
 Bm                    Am
Hiding the tears in my eyes
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       A    Bm    C#m   D    D C#m Bm A - Same as intro
´cause boys don’t cry
A    Bm    C#m   D    D C#m Bm A
Boys don’t cry
 
 
[Verse 2]
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
And now there’s nothing I can do
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m              Bm
   So I try to laugh about it
C#m                  Bm
Cover it all up with lies
C#m       Bm
 I try to laugh about it
C#m                    Bm
Hiding the tears in my eyes
 
 
[Chorus 2]
       G    Am    Bm   C    C  Cadd9 C CM7 G
´cause boys don’t cry
G    Am    Bm   C    C  Cadd9 C CM7 G
Boys don’t cry
 
 
[Verse 3]
I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away
 
 
[Bridge]
D              Em
Misjudged your limits
D              Em
Pushed you too far
D              Em
Took you for granted
  C                           D
I thought that you needed me more
 
 
[Verse 4]
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
 
 
[Chorus 3]
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

You have only transosed a part of it. The second verse is in a while the first is in g... not good enough
