Intro: :3/4: G# | G# | G#
       Cm/G | Fm | Fm | Fm
       G#/Eb | C# | C#

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

Chorus:
                  C#
     I’m not your son,
                   Eb
     You’re not my father.
                G#
     We’re just two grown men
     Cm7/G      Fm
     Saying goodbye.
        C#
     No need to forgive,
        Eb
     No need to forget;
            G#
     I know your mistakes
     Cm7/G        Fm
     And you know mine.

    C#
     And while you’re sleeping,
          Eb
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         G#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Cm7/G           Fm
     Just close your eyes?
               C#              Eb
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            G#
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  C#
     I’m not your son,
                   Eb
     You’re not my father.
                G#
     We’re just two grown men
     Cm7/G      Fm
     Saying goodbye.
        C#
     No need to forgive,
        Eb
     No need to forget;
            G#
     I know your mistakes
     Cm7/G        Fm
     And you know mine.

    C#
     And while you’re sleeping,
          Eb
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         G#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Cm7/G           Fm
     Just close your eyes?
               C#             Eb
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            G#
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   G#      Cm7/G
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Fm        Eb6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           C#      Fm7/C        Eb/Bb
   You can feel my hand on your own.

          G#     Cm7/G
   I will be the last one,
           Fm      Eb6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             C#    Fm7/C
   Let there be no darkness
           Eb/Bb
   In your heart.

Instrumental: Eb/Bb | Eb/Bb | Eb | Eb

Chorus:
                      C#
     But I’m not your son,
                   Eb
     You’re not my father.
                G#
     We’re just two grown men
     Cm7/G      Fm
     Saying goodbye.
        C#
     No need to forgive,
        Eb
     No need to forget;
            G#
     I know your mistakes
     Cm7/G        Fm
     And you know mine.

    C#
     And while you’re sleeping,
          Eb
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         G#
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Cm7/G           Fm
     Just close your eyes?
               C#             Eb
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            G#
     To chase the monsters away.
