Intro: :3/4: A | A | A
       C#m/G# | F#m | F#m | F#m
       A/E | D | D

A                    C#m/G#      F#m
Oh, before they turn off all the lights,
I won’t read you:
     A/E            D
Your wrongs or your rights.
             A
The time has gone.
                  C#m/G#           F#m
I’ll tell you goodnight, close the door,
            A/E            D
Tell you “I love you” once more.
             A
The time has gone,
           E
So here it is:

Chorus:
                  D
     I’m not your son,
                   E
     You’re not my father.
                A
     We’re just two grown men
     C#m7/G#    F#m
     Saying goodbye.
        D
     No need to forgive,
        E
     No need to forget;
            A
     I know your mistakes
     C#m7/G#      F#m
     And you know mine.

    D
     And while you’re sleeping,
          E
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         A
     So, daddy, won’t you
     C#m7/G#         F#m
     Just close your eyes?
               D               E
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            A
     To chase the monsters away.

A                    C#m/G#   F#m
Oh, well I’ll read a story to you;
                   A/E         D
Only difference is this one is true.
             A
The time has gone.
              C#m/G#         F#m
I folded your clothes on the chair.
                 A/E            D
I hope you sleep well. Don’t be scared.
             A
The time has gone,
           E
So here it is:

Chorus:
                  D
     I’m not your son,
                   E
     You’re not my father.
                A
     We’re just two grown men
     C#m7/G#    F#m
     Saying goodbye.
        D
     No need to forgive,
        E
     No need to forget;
            A
     I know your mistakes
     C#m7/G#      F#m
     And you know mine.

    D
     And while you’re sleeping,
          E
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         A
     So, daddy, won’t you
     C#m7/G#         F#m
     Just close your eyes?
               D              E
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            A
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   A       C#m7/G#
   Sleep a lifetime,
            F#m       E6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           D       F#m7/C#      E/B
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: E/B | E/B | E | E

          A      C#m7/G#
   I will be the last one,
           F#m     E6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             D     F#m7/C#
   Let there be no darkness
           E/B
   In your heart.

Instrumental: E/B | E/B | E | E

Chorus:
                      D
     But I’m not your son,
                   E
     You’re not my father.
                A
     We’re just two grown men
     C#m7/G#    F#m
     Saying goodbye.
        D
     No need to forgive,
        E
     No need to forget;
            A
     I know your mistakes
     C#m7/G#      F#m
     And you know mine.

    D
     And while you’re sleeping,
          E
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         A
     So, daddy, won’t you
     C#m7/G#         F#m
     Just close your eyes?
               D              E
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            A
     To chase the monsters away.
