(Verse)
I was raised on (Em)dust and steel
(C) Told a man should (G)never feel
(D) Hold your pain and (Em)hide your eyes
(C) Never let them (G)see you cry (D)
They call me weak, they call me (Em)wrong
(C) Said a man should just (G) stay strong
(D) But I've carried years of (Em)rain
Buried deep (C) inside my (G)pain - - -

(Chorus)
A man can (Em)cry, a man can break (C)
A man can (G)bend beneath the weight (D)
It doesn't (Em)mean he's lost the fight (C)
It means he's (G)still alive tonight (D)
A man can cry, (Em) let the tears roll (C)free
Even kings (G) can bow on their knees (D)
There's strength in pain, (Em) no shame in why (C)
It's not (G)w„uak when a man can (Em)cry
 / (C) / |(G) / (D) Mm, |(Em)mm / (C) / |(G) / (D)

(Verse 2)
I've been (Em)laughed at by th„u crowd (C)
For (G)saying hurt out loud (D)
They said, "Stand (Em)tall, don't fall apart" (C)
But they (G)never saw my heart (D)
I loved, I (Em)lost, I paid the cost (C)
I found my-(G)self in what I lost (D)
Every (Em)scar and every line (C)
Tells the (G)story of my time (D)

(Chorus)
A man can (Em)cry, a man can break (C)
A man can (G)bend beneath the weight (D)
It doesn't (Em)mean he's lost the (C)fight
It means he's (G)still alive tonight (D)
A man can cry, (Em) let the tears roll (C)free
Even kings (G) can bow on their knees (D)
There's strength in pain, (Em) no shame in why (C)
It's not (G)weak when a man can (Em)cry

(Instrumental)

(Bridge)
(Em)I have walked that (C)lonely road
(G)Carried more than (D)I could hold
(Em)If your heart is (C)tired and sore
Let it (G)open, let it (D)pour

(Chorus)
A man can (Em)cry, a man can break (C)
A man can (G)bend beneath the weight (D)
It doesn't (Em)mean he's lost the (C)fight
It means he's (G)still alive tonight (D)
A man can cry, (Em) let the tears roll (C)free
Even kings (G) can bow on their knees (D)
There's strength in pain, (Em) no shame in why (C)
It's not (G)weak when a man can (Em)cry
