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)
