Intro: :3/4: C | C | C
       Em/B | Am | Am | Am
       C/G | F | F

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

Chorus:
                  F
     I’m not your son,
                   G
     You’re not my father.
                C
     We’re just two grown men
     Em7/B      Am
     Saying goodbye.
        F
     No need to forgive,
        G
     No need to forget;
            C
     I know your mistakes
     Em7/B        Am
     And you know mine.

    F
     And while you’re sleeping,
          G
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         C
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Em7/B           Am
     Just close your eyes?
               F               G
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            C
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  F
     I’m not your son,
                   G
     You’re not my father.
                C
     We’re just two grown men
     Em7/B      Am
     Saying goodbye.
        F
     No need to forgive,
        G
     No need to forget;
            C
     I know your mistakes
     Em7/B        Am
     And you know mine.

    F
     And while you’re sleeping,
          G
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         C
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Em7/B           Am
     Just close your eyes?
               F              G
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            C
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   C       Em7/B
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Am        G6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           F       Am7/E        G/D
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: G/D | G/D | G | G

          C      Em7/B
   I will be the last one,
           Am      G6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             F     Am7/E
   Let there be no darkness
           G/D
   In your heart.

Instrumental: G/D | G/D | G | G

Chorus:
                      F
     But I’m not your son,
                   G
     You’re not my father.
                C
     We’re just two grown men
     Em7/B      Am
     Saying goodbye.
        F
     No need to forgive,
        G
     No need to forget;
            C
     I know your mistakes
     Em7/B        Am
     And you know mine.

    F
     And while you’re sleeping,
          G
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         C
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Em7/B           Am
     Just close your eyes?
               F              G
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            C
     To chase the monsters away.
