    • Verse 1
    When 
    a child 
    cries 
    the 

    tears 
    rise 
    quickly 

    Spill 
    hot 
    and 
    prickly 
    down 
    the 

    reddened 
    cheeks 

    Just to 
    leave 
    as 
    quickly 
    as 
    they 
    came 

    And 
    peace 
    re
    turns 
    again 

    When 
    Verse 2
    a child 
    cries 
    you 
    know 
    about 
    it 

    They 
    scream 
    and 
    shout 
    until 
    the 

    hurt 
    is 
    gone 

    Like 
    a 
    shower 
    of 
    rain 
    that for 
    a mo
    ment 

    Hides 
    away 
    the 
    sun

    But 
    when 
    a 
    Verse 3
    man 
    cries 
    it's 

    choked 
    and 
    throttled 

    It's all 
    been 
    bottled 
    up 
    for far 

    to 
    long 

    And when 
    at last 
    the pressure 

    cooker 
    blows 

    It's 
    hard 
    to 
    stem 
    the 
    flow 

    Verse 4
    When a 
    man 
    cries 
    his 
    body 
    shakes 

    And 
    his 
    eyeballs 
    ache 

    And 
    his 
    mind 
    vibrates 

    But 
    he 
    doesn't 
    make 
    a sound 

    Don't 
    wanna 
    wake 
    the 
    house 
    now 

    Verse 5

    Well the 
    reasons 
    are 
    vague 

    and hard 
    to put 
    in 
    words 

    Just 
    a 
    dull 
    ab
    stract 
    ache, 

    don't 
    wanna 
    worry 
    her 

    She would 
    only 
    ask 
    what's 
    wrong 

    and I'd 
    try 
    to say 

    Then she'd 
    take 
    all 
    my 
    pain 

    and 
    explain 
    it 
    away 

    But 
    who 
    can 
    explain 
    why 
    a man 
    cries 

    Interlude 1



    When a 
    man 
    Verse 6
    cries 
    he cries 
    alone 

    An
    d 
    for 
    just 
    a moment 

    he's 
    back 
    at home 

    Cradled 
    in 
    his 
    mother's 
    arms 

    Free 
    from 
    guilt 
    and 
    safe 
    from 
    harm

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
