My Boy Chords by Elvis Presley

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ You're sleeping, son, [A] 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 no [Em] happy home, but God [F#] knows how I try. _ _ _ _
Because [Bm] you're all, _ _ [Em] _ _
you [A] are my pride.
[F#m] _ _
And [Bm] if I stay, I may [C#] recall you, [B] my love.
_ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
[F#] _ [D] _ _ _ I know it's hard [A] to understand why did [Bm] we ever start?
We're more [F#m] like strangers now, each [Bm] acting out apart. _
_ _ _ I have [G] laughed, I have lost, [F#m] I will regain.
Take it all, [Em] you take, but I'll stay [F#] here just the same.
_ _ _ Because [Bm] you're all, _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[G#] baby, _ I stay [C#] because my [Bm] boy.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _
[F#] _ [D] _ _ _ Sleep on, 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, has one [F#m] name to know.
But now you're [Em] just a child, I'll stay here and [F#] watch you grow.
_ _ Because [Bm] you're all, _ _ [Em] _ _ you [A] are _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[G#] my slave.
