Elvis Presley
[Verse]
C Em
You’re sleeping son, I know
Am
But really, this can’t wait
Em
I wanted to explain
Am
Before it gets too late
F
For your mother and me
Em
Love has finally died
Dm
This is no happy home
E7
But God knows how I tried
[Chorus]
Am
Because you’re all I have,
Dm
My boy
G7
You are my life, my pride,
C
My joy
F
And if I stay
D7
I stay because of you,
E7 C
My boy
[Verse]
C Em
I know it’s hard to understand
Am
Why did we ever start
Em
We’re more like strangers now
Am
Each acting out a part
F
I’ve laughed, i’ve cried
Em
I’ve lost every game
Dm
Taken all I can take
E7
But i’ll stay here just the same
[Chorus]
Am
Because you’re all I have,
Dm
My boy
G7
You are my life, my pride,
C
My joy
F
And if I stay
D7
I stay because of you,
E7 C
My boy
[Verse]
C
Sleep on, you haven’t heard
Em
A word
Am
Perhaps it’s just as well
Em
Why spoil your litlle dreams
Am
Why put you through a hell
F
Life is no fairy tale
Em
And one day you will know
Dm
But now you’re just a child
E7
I’ll stay here and watch you grow
[Chorus]
Am
Because you’re all I have,
Dm
My boy
G7
You are my life, my pride,
C
My joy
F
And if I stay
D7
I stay because of you,
E7
My boy
Am
Yeah,because you’re all I have,
Dm
My boy
G7
You are my life, my pride,
C
My joy
F
And if I stay
D7
I stay because of you,
E7
My boy
