[Verse 1]
A   Amaj7      Dmaj7                 A
I'm not always strong but I got good posture,
  Amaj7    Dmaj7                           A
I stand up tall and push my shoulders back,
Amaj7 A        Dmaj7           A
May---be we're all just good impostors,
                Dmaj7                    A
And when we're alone that's when we relax,
             Dmaj7                 A
I know I can be kinda rough on the outside,
           Dmaj7                    A
Act like I don't give a fuck when I do,
                 Dmaj7                F#m
But truth is I'm not really much of a tough guy,
             Dmaj7
You probably already knew.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#                            D
I think it's something that's deep down in me,
F#m
And I just keep it inside.
 
 
[Chorus]
  E           D      A            F#m
I don't wanna cry in front of you,
  E               D    A            F#m
I don't know what I am tryna prove,
    E            D            A
The weight of my cards on the table,
F#m        E          D            A
Makes it unstable and rocks like a cradle,
    F#m     E           D   A  F#m  E
And baby, I don't wanna cry. . .
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Sometimes it feels like a shock from a collar,
A                                Amaj7
And I'm just a dog roped up to a fence,
            Dmaj7                 F#m
I'm staying silent when I need to holler,
            D                 Dmaj7  D
Let down my guard and give up my   defense.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#                            D
I think it's something that's deep down in me,
F#m
And I just keep it inside.
 
 
[Chorus]
  E           D      A            F#m
I don't wanna cry in front of you,
  E               D    A            F#m
I don't know what I am tryna prove,
    E            D            A
The weight of my cards on the table,
F#m        E          D            A
Makes it unstable and rocks like a cradle,
    F#m     E           D   A  F#m
And baby, I don't wanna cry. . .
   E           D   A  F#m
In front of you . . .,
  E           D   A  F#m
I don't wanna cry,
   E           D   A  F#m
In front of you . . ..
 
 
[Outro]
  E           D      A           F#m
I don't wanna cry in front of you,
  E               D    A        F#m
I don't know what I am tryna prove,
    E            D*           A*
The weight of my cards on the table,
F#m*       E*         D*           A*
Makes it unstable and rocks like a cradle,
    F#m     E           D   A  F#m
And baby, I don't wanna cry. . .
   E           D   A  F#m
In front of you . . .,
  E           D   A  F#m
I don't wanna cry,
   E           D   A  F#m
In front of you . . ..
  E           A
I don't wanna cry,
            D  Dmaj7
In front of you . . ..
