Elvis Presley

C           Em
You’re sleeping son, i know
         Am
But really, this can’t wait
       Em
I wanted to explain
        Am
Before it gets too late
         F
For your mother and me
        Em
Love has finally died
        Dm
This is no happy home
         E7
But God knows how i tried
       Am
Because you’re all i have,
   Dm
My boy
       G7
You are my life, my pride,
   C
My joy
      F
And if i stay
       D7
I stay because of you,
   E      C
My boy
C           Em
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
         F
I’ve laughed, i’ve cried
       Em
I’ve lost every game
            Dm
Taken all i can take
            E7
But i’ll stay here just the same

        Am
Because you’re all i have,
   Dm
My boy
       G7
You are my life, my pride,
   C
My joy
       F
And if i stay
      D7
I stay because of you,
   E     C
My boy
    C
Sleep on, you haven’t heard
  Em
A word
          Am
Perhaps it’s just as well
         Em
Why spoil your litlle dreams
          Am
Why put you through a hell
      F
Life is no fairy tale
         Em
And one day you will know
         Dm
But now you’re just a child
              E7
I’ll stay here and watch you grow
       Am
Because you’re all i have,
   Dm
My boy
       G7
You are my life, my pride,
   C
My joy
       F
And if i stay
      D7
I stay because of you,
    E7
My boy
          Am
Yeah,because you’re all i have,
   Dm
My boy
          G7
You are my life, my pride,
   C
My joy
       F
And if i stay
       D7
I stay because of you,
   E7
