Intro: :3/4: C# | C# | C#
       Fm/C | Bbm | Bbm | Bbm
       C#/G# | F# | F#

C#                   Fm/C        Bbm
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.
                  Fm/C             Bbm
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
     Fm7/C      Bbm
     Saying goodbye.
        F#
     No need to forgive,
        G#
     No need to forget;
            C#
     I know your mistakes
     Fm7/C        Bbm
     And you know mine.

    F#
     And while you’re sleeping,
          G#
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         C#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Fm7/C           Bbm
     Just close your eyes?
               F#              G#
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            C#
     To chase the monsters away.

C#                   Fm/C     Bbm
Oh, well I’ll read a story to you;
                   C#/G#       F#
Only difference is this one is true.
             C#
The time has gone.
              Fm/C           Bbm
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
     Fm7/C      Bbm
     Saying goodbye.
        F#
     No need to forgive,
        G#
     No need to forget;
            C#
     I know your mistakes
     Fm7/C        Bbm
     And you know mine.

    F#
     And while you’re sleeping,
          G#
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         C#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Fm7/C           Bbm
     Just close your eyes?
               F#             G#
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            C#
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   C#      Fm7/C
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Bbm       G#6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           F#      Bbm7/F       G#/Eb
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: G#/Eb | G#/Eb | G# | G#

          C#     Fm7/C
   I will be the last one,
           Bbm     G#6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             F#    Bbm7/F
   Let there be no darkness
           G#/Eb
   In your heart.

Instrumental: G#/Eb | G#/Eb | G# | G#

Chorus:
                      F#
     But I’m not your son,
                   G#
     You’re not my father.
                C#
     We’re just two grown men
     Fm7/C      Bbm
     Saying goodbye.
        F#
     No need to forgive,
        G#
     No need to forget;
            C#
     I know your mistakes
     Fm7/C        Bbm
     And you know mine.

    F#
     And while you’re sleeping,
          G#
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         C#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Fm7/C           Bbm
     Just close your eyes?
               F#             G#
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            C#
     To chase the monsters away.
