D                       A/C#
 You’re sleeping son, I know
                      Bm
But really this can’t wait
              F#m
I wanted to explain
                   Bm
Before it gets too late
                    Gmaj7
For your mother and me
                F#m7
Love is finally died
                 Em7
This is no happy home

But God knows how I tried
 
[Chorus]

 Because you’re all I have, my boy

You are my life, my pride, my joy

And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy

                Bm
Why did we ever start 
                          F#m
We’re more like strangers now
                  Bm
Each acting out a part
                   Gmaj7
I’ve laughed, I’ve cried
                F#m7
I’ve lost every game
                Em7
Taken all I can take
                            F#    F#sus4
But I’ll stay here just the same

You are my life, my pride, my joy

                     Bm
Perhaps it’s just as well
                      F#m
Why spoil your little dreams
                        Bm
Why put you through the hell?
                G
Life is no fairytale
                    F#m
As one day you will know
                      Em
But now you’re just a child

I’ll stay here 'n watch you grow

You are my life, my pride, my joy
