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


Intro: :3/4: F# | F# | F#
       Bbm/F | Ebm | Ebm | Ebm
       F#/C# | B | B

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

Chorus:
                  B
     I’m not your son,
                   C#
     You’re not my father.
                F#
     We’re just two grown men
     Bbm7/F     Ebm
     Saying goodbye.
        B
     No need to forgive,
        C#
     No need to forget;
            F#
     I know your mistakes
     Bbm7/F       Ebm
     And you know mine.

    B
     And while you’re sleeping,
          C#
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         F#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Bbm7/F          Ebm
     Just close your eyes?
               B               C#
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            F#
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  B
     I’m not your son,
                   C#
     You’re not my father.
                F#
     We’re just two grown men
     Bbm7/F     Ebm
     Saying goodbye.
        B
     No need to forgive,
        C#
     No need to forget;
            F#
     I know your mistakes
     Bbm7/F       Ebm
     And you know mine.

    B
     And while you’re sleeping,
          C#
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         F#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Bbm7/F          Ebm
     Just close your eyes?
               B              C#
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            F#
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   F#      Bbm7/F
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Ebm       C#6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           B       Ebm7/Bb      C#/G#
   You can feel my hand on your own.

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

          F#     Bbm7/F
   I will be the last one,
           Ebm     C#6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             B     Ebm7/Bb
   Let there be no darkness
           C#/G#
   In your heart.

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

Chorus:
                      B
     But I’m not your son,
                   C#
     You’re not my father.
                F#
     We’re just two grown men
     Bbm7/F     Ebm
     Saying goodbye.
        B
     No need to forgive,
        C#
     No need to forget;
            F#
     I know your mistakes
     Bbm7/F       Ebm
     And you know mine.

    B
     And while you’re sleeping,
          C#
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         F#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Bbm7/F          Ebm
     Just close your eyes?
               B              C#
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            F#
     To chase the monsters away.
