My Boy Chords & Lyrics - Elvis Presley

You’re sl[A/C#]eeping son, i know
But really, this [Bm]can’t wait
I wanted to e[F#m]xplain
Before it gets t[Bm]oo late
For your mother a[G]nd me
Love has finall[F#m]y died
This is no happ[Em]y home
But God knows how[F#7] i tried
Because you??[Bm] ?re all i have,
My bo[Em]y
You are my li[A7]fe, my pride,
My bo[D]y
And if i sta[G#m7(b5)]y
I stay becaus[C#7]e of you,
My bo[F#7]y [D]
I know it’s hard to [A/C#]understand
Why did we ever s[Bm]tart
We’re more like strange[F#m]rs now
Each acting out [Bm]a part
I’ve laughed, i[G]’ve cried
I’ve lost [F#m]every game
Taken all i can take [Em]
But i’ll stay here j[F#7]ust the same

Because you’r[Bm]e all i have,
My bo[Em]y
You are my life, my[A7] pride,
My bo[D]y
And if i stay[G#m7(b5)]
I stay becau[C#7]se of you,
My bo[F#7]y [D]
Sleep on[D] , you haven’t heard
A w[A/C#]ord
Perhaps it’s just[Bm] as well
Why spoil your li[F#m]tlle dreams
Why put you through [Bm]a hell
Life is no [G]fairy tale
And one day you w[F#m]ill know
But now you’re [Em]just a child
I’ll stay here abd watch y[F#7]ou grow
Because you’[Bm]re all i have,
My bo[Em]y
You are my life, my[A7] pride,
My bo[D]y
And if i stay[G#m7(b5)]
I stay becau[C#7]se of you,
My bo[D]y
Because you’r[Bm]e all i have,
My bo[Em]y
You are my life, my[A7] pride,
My bo[D]y
And if i stay[G#m7(b5)]
I stay becau[C#7]se of you,
My bo[F#7]y
