Verse:
            G/BG/B
You're sleeping son, I know
            A minorAm
But, really, this can't wait
       E minorEm
I wanted to explain
          A minorAm
Before it gets too late
          Fmaj7Fmaj7
For your mother and me
         E minor 7Em7
Love has finally died
         DmDm
This is no happy home
           | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
But God knows how I've tried

Chorus:
        A minorAm       DmDm
Because you're all I have, my boy
      G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7B7   | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)


Verse:
| C majorC | C majorC           G/BG/B
   I know it's hard to understand
        A minorAm
Why did we ever start?
             E minorEm
We're more like strangers now
         A minorAm
Each acting out a part
            Fmaj7Fmaj7
I have laughed, I have cried
         E minor 7Em7
I have lost every game
        DmDm
Taken all I can take
              | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
But I'll stay here just the same


Chorus:
        A minorAm       DmDm
Because you're all I have, my boy
      G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7B7   | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)


Verse:
| C majorC |   C majorC            G/BG/B
   Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
           A minorAm
Perhaps it's just as well
           E minorEm
Why spoil your little dreams
            A minorAm
Why put you through the hell
        Fmaj7Fmaj7
Life is no fairytale
          E minor 7Em7
As one day you will know
           DmDm
But now you're just a child
              | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
I'll stay here and watch you grow


Chorus:
        A minorAm       DmDm
Because you're all I have, my boy
      G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7B7   | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)


Chorus:
           A minorAm       DmDm
Yeah, because you're all I have, my boy
      G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7B7   | E7sus4E7sus4 | E7E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)
