[Verse 1]
C
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
C/B Am
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights

The time has gone

I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
C/B Am
Tell you I love you once more
Am7/G F
The time has gone
C G
So here it is
[Chorus]
F G
I'm not your son, you're not my father
C Em7/B Am
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
F G
No need to forgive, no need to forget
C Em7/B Am
I know your mistakes and you know mine
F
And while you're sleeping

I'll try to make you proud
C Em7/B Am
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
F G
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
C
To chase the monsters away
[Verse 2]
C
Oh, well I'll read a story to you
C/B Am
Only difference is this one is true
Am7/G F
The time has gone

I folded your clothes on the chair
C/B Am
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
Am7/G F
The time has gone
C G
So here it is
[Chorus]

I'm not your son, you're not my father

We're just two grown men saying goodbye

No need to forgive, no need to forget

And while you're sleeping

I'll try to make you proud
C Em7/B Am
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?

Don't be afraid, it's my turn

To chase the monsters away

Sleep a lifetime
Am Am7/G
Yes, and breathe a last word

I will be the last one, so I'll leave a light on

Let there be no darkness in your heart
