Intro: :3/4: E | E | E
       G#m | C#m | C#m | C#m
       E | A | A

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bridge:
   E       G#m7 
   Sleep a lifetime,
            C#m       B6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           A       C#m7         B   
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: B | B | B | B

          E      G#m7 
   I will be the last one,
           C#m     B6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             A     C#m7 
   Let there be no darkness
           B   
   In your heart.

Instrumental: B | B | B | B

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

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