You’re sleeping son, i know

For your mother and me

You are my life, my pride,
D
My boy

And if i stay

I stay because of you,
F#7 D
My boy
[Verse]
A/C#
I know it’s hard to understand
Bm
Why did we ever start
F#m
We’re more like strangers now
Bm
Each acting out a part
G
I’ve laughed, i’ve cried
F#m
I’ve lost every game
Em
Taken all i can take
F#7
But i’ll stay here just the same

Because you’re all i have,

You are my life, my pride,

A word
Bm
Perhaps it’s just as well
F#m
Why spoil your litlle dreams

Why put you through a hell

Life is no fairy tale

And one day you will know

But now you’re just a child

I’ll stay here abd watch you grow
