G                                 Em
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
                                       C
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
                G
The time has gone
                                    Em
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
                           C
Tell you I love you once more
              G                D
The time has gone, so here it is

               C                   D
I'm not your son, you're not my father
            G                       Em
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
              C                  D
No need to forgive, no need to forget
        G                          Em
I know your mistakes and you know mine
C                             D
 And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
      G                                Em
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
            C              D
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
                        G
To chase the monsters away

G                              Em
Oh, well I'll read a story to you
                              C
Only difference is this one is true
               G
The time has gone
                               Em
I folded your clothes on the chair
                               C
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
              G                D
The time has gone, so here it is

              C                    D
I'm not your son, you're not my father
            G                      Em
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    C                    D
No need to forgive, no need to forget
        G                           Em
I know your mistakes and you know mine
C                             D
 And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
      G                               Em
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
            C              D
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
                        G
To chase the monsters away


Sleep a lifetime
           Em
Yes and breathe a last word
          C                   D
You can feel my hand on your own
        G                        Em
I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on
          C                       D
Let there be no darkness in your heart

        C                               D
'Cause I'm not your son, you're not my father
            G                      Em
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
     C                   D
No need to forgive, no need to forget
         G                         Em
I know your mistakes and you know mine
G                              D
 And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
      G                               Em
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
           C              D
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
                          G
To chase the monsters away
