Intro: :3/4: D | D | D
       F#m | Bm | Bm | Bm
       D | G | G

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

Chorus:
                  G
     I’m not your son,
                   A
     You’re not my father.
                D
     We’re just two grown men
     F#m7       Bm
     Saying goodbye.
        G
     No need to forgive,
        A
     No need to forget;
            D
     I know your mistakes
     F#m7         Bm
     And you know mine.

    G
     And while you’re sleeping,
          A
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         D
     So, daddy, won’t you
     F#m7            Bm
     Just close your eyes?
               G               A
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            D
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  G
     I’m not your son,
                   A
     You’re not my father.
                D
     We’re just two grown men
     F#m7       Bm
     Saying goodbye.
        G
     No need to forgive,
        A
     No need to forget;
            D
     I know your mistakes
     F#m7         Bm
     And you know mine.

    G
     And while you’re sleeping,
          A
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         D
     So, daddy, won’t you
     F#m7            Bm
     Just close your eyes?
               G              A
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            D
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   D       F#m7 
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Bm        A6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           G       Bm7          A   
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: A | A | A | A

          D      F#m7 
   I will be the last one,
           Bm      A6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             G     Bm7  
   Let there be no darkness
           A   
   In your heart.

Instrumental: A | A | A | A

Chorus:
                      G
     But I’m not your son,
                   A
     You’re not my father.
                D
     We’re just two grown men
     F#m7       Bm
     Saying goodbye.
        G
     No need to forgive,
        A
     No need to forget;
            D
     I know your mistakes
     F#m7         Bm
     And you know mine.

    G
     And while you’re sleeping,
          A
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         D
     So, daddy, won’t you
     F#m7            Bm
     Just close your eyes?
               G              A
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            D
     To chase the monsters away.
