Intro: :3/4: F | F | F
       Am/E | Dm | Dm | Dm
       F/C | Bb | Bb

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

Chorus:
                  Bb
     I’m not your son,
                   C
     You’re not my father.
                F
     We’re just two grown men
     Am7/E      Dm
     Saying goodbye.
        Bb
     No need to forgive,
        C
     No need to forget;
            F
     I know your mistakes
     Am7/E        Dm
     And you know mine.

    Bb
     And while you’re sleeping,
          C
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         F
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Am7/E           Dm
     Just close your eyes?
               Bb              C
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            F
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  Bb
     I’m not your son,
                   C
     You’re not my father.
                F
     We’re just two grown men
     Am7/E      Dm
     Saying goodbye.
        Bb
     No need to forgive,
        C
     No need to forget;
            F
     I know your mistakes
     Am7/E        Dm
     And you know mine.

    Bb
     And while you’re sleeping,
          C
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         F
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Am7/E           Dm
     Just close your eyes?
               Bb             C
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            F
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   F       Am7/E
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Dm        C6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           Bb      Dm7/A        C/G
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: C/G | C/G | C | C

          F      Am7/E
   I will be the last one,
           Dm      C6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             Bb    Dm7/A
   Let there be no darkness
           C/G
   In your heart.

Instrumental: C/G | C/G | C | C

Chorus:
                      Bb
     But I’m not your son,
                   C
     You’re not my father.
                F
     We’re just two grown men
     Am7/E      Dm
     Saying goodbye.
        Bb
     No need to forgive,
        C
     No need to forget;
            F
     I know your mistakes
     Am7/E        Dm
     And you know mine.

    Bb
     And while you’re sleeping,
          C
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         F
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Am7/E           Dm
     Just close your eyes?
               Bb             C
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            F
     To chase the monsters away.
