Verse:
            G/B
You're sleeping son, I know
            Am
But, really, this can't wait
       Em
I wanted to explain
          Am
Before it gets too late
          Fmaj7
For your mother and me
         Em7
Love has finally died
         Dm
This is no happy home
           | E7sus4 | E7 |
But God knows how I've tried


Chorus:
        Am       Dm
Because you're all I have, my boy
      G         Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7   | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)


Verse:
| C | C           G/B
   I know it's hard to understand
        Am
Why did we ever start?
             Em
We're more like strangers now
         Am
Each acting out a part
            Fmaj7
I have laughed, I have cried
         Em7
I have lost every game
        Dm
Taken all I can take
              | E7sus4 | E7 |
But I'll stay here just the same


Chorus:
        Am       Dm
Because you're all I have, my boy
      G         Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7   | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)


Verse:
| C |   C            G/B
   Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
           Am
Perhaps it's just as well
           Em
Why spoil your little dreams
            Am
Why put you through the hell
        Fmaj7
Life is no fairytale
          Em7
As one day you will know
           Dm
But now you're just a child
              | E7sus4 | E7 |
I'll stay here and watch you grow


Chorus:
        Am       Dm
Because you're all I have, my boy
      G         Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7   | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)


Chorus:
           Am       Dm
Yeah, because you're all I have, my boy
      G         Cmaj7
You are my life, my pride, my joy
     F#m7-5     B7-9   B7   | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy   (break)
