“Real Men Cry” 
Lost Dogs
written by Terry Scott Taylor
Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
G    Am     D     G
[Verse 1]
AmI always thought I was the strong one
GWho had the faith when you had doubt
AmI was the one to hide my feelings
GYou were the one to let them out
My daddy Emtaught me, "Son, be tough and strong"
That is Dwhat I tried to do
But now you're Amtelling me girl that you can't live like this
And that you Dmight be leaving soon
[Chorus]
Do real men Gcry?
I never thought that it was Bmtrue
Maybe I could Amtough this one out 
Be strong enough to Dmake it through  
But now there's tears in the Geyes of this stubborn Cfool
Do real men Gcry?
Baby, now you Dknow that real men GdoC  G  
[Instrumental]
G   Am    D    G
[Verse 2]
AmI assumed you knew that I would love you 
Gand be your rock through thick and thin
AmI've always been a man of few words 
Gwhen what you needed was a friend
I thought if EmI stood tall just like a wall
it would Dall be good enough
Please let me Amhold you now and promise you, girl
that I'm Dthrough with acting tough
[Chorus]
Do real men Gcry?
I never thought that it was Bmtrue
Maybe I could Amtough this one out 
Be strong enough to Dmake it through  
But now there's tears in the Geyes of this stubborn Cfool
Do real men Gcry?
Baby, now you Dknow that real men GdoC  G  
Do real men Gcry?
Baby, now you Dknow that real men GdoC  G

My daddy taught me, "Son, be tough and strong"

That is what I tried to do

But now you're telling me girl that you can't live like this

And that you might be leaving soon

Do real men cry?

I never thought that it was true

Maybe I could tough this one out

Be strong enough to make it through

I assumed you knew that I would love you

and be your rock through thick and thin

I've always been a man of few words

when what you needed was a friend

I thought if I stood tall just like a wall

it would all be good enough

Please let me hold you now and promise you, girl

that I'm through with acting tough

[Chorus]

Do real men cry?

I never thought that it was true

Maybe I could tough this one out

Be strong enough to make it through

G C

But now there's tears in the eyes of this stubborn fool

Do real men cry?

Baby, now you know that real men do

Do real men cry?
