Chords for Elvis Presley - My Boy

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