Lyrics and Music by James Blunt, Amy Wadge and Jimmy Hogarth

Intro: :3/4: Bb | Bb | Bb
       Dm/A | Gm | Gm | Gm
       Bb/F | Eb | Eb

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

Chorus:
                  Eb
     I’m not your son,
                   F
     You’re not my father.
                Bb
     We’re just two grown men
     Dm7/A      Gm
     Saying goodbye.
        Eb
     No need to forgive,
        F
     No need to forget;
            Bb
     I know your mistakes
     Dm7/A        Gm
     And you know mine.

    Eb
     And while you’re sleeping,
          F
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         Bb
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Dm7/A           Gm
     Just close your eyes?
               Eb              F
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            Bb
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  Eb
     I’m not your son,
                   F
     You’re not my father.
                Bb
     We’re just two grown men
     Dm7/A      Gm
     Saying goodbye.
        Eb
     No need to forgive,
        F
     No need to forget;
            Bb
     I know your mistakes
     Dm7/A        Gm
     And you know mine.

    Eb
     And while you’re sleeping,
          F
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         Bb
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Dm7/A           Gm
     Just close your eyes?
               Eb             F
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            Bb
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   Bb      Dm7/A
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Gm        F6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           Eb      Gm7/D        F/C
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: F/C | F/C | F | F

          Bb     Dm7/A
   I will be the last one,
           Gm      F6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             Eb    Gm7/D
   Let there be no darkness
           F/C
   In your heart.

Instrumental: F/C | F/C | F | F

Chorus:
                      Eb
     But I’m not your son,
                   F
     You’re not my father.
                Bb
     We’re just two grown men
     Dm7/A      Gm
     Saying goodbye.
        Eb
     No need to forgive,
        F
     No need to forget;
            Bb
     I know your mistakes
     Dm7/A        Gm
     And you know mine.

    Eb
     And while you’re sleeping,
          F
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         Bb
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Dm7/A           Gm
     Just close your eyes?
               Eb             F
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            Bb
     To chase the monsters away.
