Dm C/E F
You've been on and on again
Gm    A#m
And this time I'm not listening
D C/E      F
It's been minutes since we've spoken last
G  Fsus4/C
Already talking to my friends
Dm   C/E     F               Gm           A#m
You can't admit it that you lied, that I lied
Dm     C/E     F                G           Fsus4/C
Yeah I've been upset but I've tried, tried, tried
     Dm   C/E    F Gm A#m
But boys don't cry

You've been writing novels
I'm the inbox to your problems every weekday
We don't talk much in real life
We fake fight and that's all we do, do
But if it's over, then it's over
Doesn't have to be a TV drama
Dm      C/E             F   G Fsus4/C
If it's over, then it's over

You've been off and on again
I've always been your therapist
And you can't say anymore, oh yeah
You've lost the right to be my friend
I know you're drinking every night, night,
night, night
Yeah, I've been absent, but I've tried, tried,
I have tried, oh

Chorus:
Dm          C/E            F
But if it's over then it's over
Gm                   A#m
Doesn't have to be a teenage drama
Dm      C/E            F    G Fsus4/C
If it's over then it's over
Dm      C/E            F
If it's over then it's over
Gm                   A#m
Doesn't have to be a tv drama
Dm      C/E            F    G Fsus4/C
If it's over then it's over

     Dm   C/E    F Gm A#m
But boys don't cry
    Dm   C/E  F G Fsus4/C
No, boys don't

If it's over, then it's over
You don't have to go and make this harder
If it's over, then it's over
