[D]
You're sleeping, [A] son, I know, but I really [Bm] just can't wait.
I want it [F#m] to explain before it [Bm] gets too late.
For your [G] mother and me, love has [F#m] finally died.
This is [Em] no happy home, but God knows how I [B] tried.
[F#] Because [Bm] you're all I [Em] have, my boy.
You [A] are my life, my [F#m] pride, my joy.
And [G#] if I stay, I stay [C#] because of you, [B] my boy.
[F#] [B] [F#] [D]
I know it's hard [A] to understand why did we ever [Bm] start.
We're more like [F#m] strangers now, each [Bm] acting out apart.
I [G] have laughed, I have cried, I've [F#m] lost every game.
Taken all [Em] I can take, but I'll [Bm] stay here just the [F#] same.
Because [B] you're [Bm] all I have, [Em] my boy.
You are [A] my life, my pride, [D] my joy.
And if I [G#] stay, I stay [C#] because of you, my [Bm] boy.
[F#]
[G#m] [F#] [D]
See, Bob, you haven't [A] heard a word.
Perhaps [Bm] it's just as well.
Why spoil [F#m] your little dreams?
Why put you [Bm] through the hell?
Life [G] is no fairy tale, and one [F#m] day you will know.
But now you're [Bm] just a child.
I'll stay here and watch you grow.
[F#] Because [B] [Bm] you're all I have, [Em] my boy.
You are [A] my life, my pride, [D] my joy.
[Bm] And if I stay, I stay [C#] because of you, [B] my boy.
[F#]
[Bm] Because you're all I have, my [G] boy.
You [A] are my life, my pride, [D] my joy.
And [G#] if I stay, I stay.
[C#]
