(Originally by James Blunt)

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
A A E F#m
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
F#m E D
I won’t read you your wrongs or your rights
A
The time has gone
A E F#m
I’ll tell you goodnight, close the door
F#m E D
Tell you I love you once more
A
The time has gone
E
So here it is

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

[Verse 2]
E A E F#m
Oh, well I’ll read a story to you
F#m E D
Only difference is this one is true
E
The time has gone
A E F#m
I folded your clothes on the chair
F#m E D
I hope you sleep well, don’t be scared
A
The time has gone
E
So here it is

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

[Bridge]
A F#m
Sleep a lifetime
A F#m
Yes, and breathe a last word
D A E
You can feel my hand on your arm
A F#m
I will be the last one so I’ll leave a light on
D A E
Let there be no darkness in your heart

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