[Intro]
| C | % |
[Verse]
You're sleeping son, I G/Bknow
But, really, this can't Amwait
I wanted to exEmplain
Before it gets too Amlate
For your mother and Fmaj7me
Love has finally Em7died
This is no happy Dmhome
| E7sus4 | E7 |
But God knows how I've tried
[Chorus]
Because you're Amall I have, my Dmboy
You are my Glife, my pride, my Cmaj7joy
F#m7-5 B7-9 B7 | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy (break)
[Verse]
| C | C G/B
I know it's hard to understand
Why did we ever Amstart?
We're more like strangers Emnow
Each acting out a Ampart
I have laughed, I have Fmaj7cried
I have lost every Em7game
Taken all I can Dmtake
| E7sus4 | E7 |
But I'll stay here just the same
[Chorus]
Because you're Amall I have, my Dmboy
You are my Glife, my pride, my Cmaj7joy
F#m7-5 B7-9 B7 | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy (break)
[Verse]
| C | C G/B
Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
Perhaps it's just as Amwell
Why spoil your little Emdreams
Why put you through the Amhell
Life is no fairyFmaj7tale
As one day you will Em7know
But now you're just a Dmchild
| E7sus4 | E7 |
I'll stay here and watch you grow
[Chorus]
Because you're Amall I have, my Dmboy
You are my Glife, my pride, my Cmaj7joy
F#m7-5 B7-9 B7 | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy (break)
[Chorus]
Yeah, because you're Amall I have, my Dmboy
You are my Glife, my pride, my Cmaj7joy
F#m7-5 B7-9 B7 | E7sus4 | E7 |
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy (break)
(repeat and fade)
