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


Intro: :3/4: G | G | G
       Bm | Em | Em | Em
       G | C | C

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

Chorus:
                  C
     I’m not your son,
                   D
     You’re not my father.
                G
     We’re just two grown men
     Bm7        Em
     Saying goodbye.
        C
     No need to forgive,
        D
     No need to forget;
            G
     I know your mistakes
     Bm7          Em
     And you know mine.

    C
     And while you’re sleeping,
          D
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         G
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Bm7             Em
     Just close your eyes?
               C               D
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            G
     To chase the monsters away.

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

Chorus:
                  C
     I’m not your son,
                   D
     You’re not my father.
                G
     We’re just two grown men
     Bm7        Em
     Saying goodbye.
        C
     No need to forgive,
        D
     No need to forget;
            G
     I know your mistakes
     Bm7          Em
     And you know mine.

    C
     And while you’re sleeping,
          D
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         G
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Bm7             Em
     Just close your eyes?
               C              D
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            G
     To chase the monsters away.

Bridge:
   G       Bm7  
   Sleep a lifetime,
            Em        D6
   Yes, and breathe a last word.
           C       Em7          D   
   You can feel my hand on your own.

Instrumental: D | D | D | D

          G      Bm7  
   I will be the last one,
           Em      D6
   So I’ll leave a light on.
             C     Em7  
   Let there be no darkness
           D   
   In your heart.

Instrumental: D | D | D | D

Chorus:
                      C
     But I’m not your son,
                   D
     You’re not my father.
                G
     We’re just two grown men
     Bm7        Em
     Saying goodbye.
        C
     No need to forgive,
        D
     No need to forget;
            G
     I know your mistakes
     Bm7          Em
     And you know mine.

    C
     And while you’re sleeping,
          D
     I’ll try to make you proud.
         G
     So, daddy, won’t you
     Bm7             Em
     Just close your eyes?
               C              D
     Don’t be afraid, it’s my turn
                            G
     To chase the monsters away.
