[B] [F#] [A#] [F] I [E] guess.
[G] [A]
[D] You're sleeping, [A] son, I know, but really [Bm] this can't wait.
I wanted [F#m] to explain before it [Bm] gets too late.
Why, [G] mother and me, love has [F#m] finally died.
This is no [Em] happy home, but God [B] knows how I tried.
[F#] [Bm] Because you are my [Em] wife,
[A] my pride, [D] my joy.
And if [G#] I stay, I stay [F] because of you, [B] my boy.
[F#] [Bm] [F#]
[D] I know it's hard to [A] understand why did we [Bm] ever start.
We're more like [F#m] strangers now, each acting [Bm] on our part.
I've [G] left, I've cried, I've [F#m] lost ever again.
Taken all [Em] I can take, but I'll stay [Bm] here just the same.
[F#] [Bm] Because you are my wife, [Em]
[A] my pride, [D] my joy.
And [G#] if I stay, I stay [C#] because of you, [B] my boy.
[F#] [Bm] [F#m]
[D] Sleep on.
You [A] haven't heard a word, perhaps [Bm] it's just as well.
I spoiled [F#m] your little dreams, I put [Bm] you through the hill.
Life is [G] no fairy tale, and one day you will [F#m] know.
But now you're just [Em] a child, I'll stay here and watch [B] you grow.
[F#] Because [Bm] you are my [Em] wife,
[A] my pride, [D] my joy.
And [G#] if I stay, I [C#] stay because of you, [F#] my boy.
[E] And if I stay, I stay because [Bm] of you, my [Em] boy.
Because you are [A] my wife, my pride, [D] my joy.
And if [G#] I stay, I stay [C#] because of you, my [F#m] [B] boy.
[F#] [Bm]
[Em] [A]
[D] And [G#] if I stay, I stay [C#] because of you, [B] my boy.
