My Boy

C G/B You're sleeping son, I know Am But, really, this can't wait E 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 Esus E But God knows how I've tried Bm7/F# E/G# Am Dm Because you're all I have, my boy G C You are my life, my pride, my joy F#m7 B7b9 B7 Esus E And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy C G/B I know, it's hard to understand Am Why did we ever start? E We're more like strangers now Am Each acting out a part F I have laughed, I have cried Em I have lost every game Dm I’ve taken all I can take Esus E But I'll stay just the same Bm7/F# E/G# Am Dm Because you're all I have, my boy G C You are my life, my pride, my joy F#m7 B7b9 B7 Esus E And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy C G/B Sleep on, you haven't heard a word Am Perhaps it's just as well E Why spoil your little dreams Am Why put you through that hell F Life is no fairytale Em As one day you will know Dm But now you're just a child Esus E I'll stay here and watch you grow Bm7/F# E/G# Am Dm Because you're all I have, my boy G C You are my life, my pride, my joy F#m7 B7b9 B7 Esus E And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Bm7/F# E/G# Am Dm Because you're all I have, my boy G C You are my life, my pride, my joy F#m7 B7b9 B7 Esus E And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy Am My Boy
