[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…

[Bridge]
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
