[Verse 1]
C C/B Am
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
Am7/G F
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights

The time has gone

I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Am7/G F
Tell you I love you once more

The time has gone

So here it is
[Chorus]
F G
I'm not your son, you're not my father
C Cmaj9/B Am
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
F G
No need to forgive, no need to forget
C Cmaj9/B Am
I know your mistakes and you know mine
F
And while you're sleeping,
G
I'll try to make you proud
C Cmaj9/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

C C/B Am
Oh, well I'll read a story to you
Am7/G F
Only difference is this one is true
C
The time has gone
C/B Am
I folded your clothes on the chair
Am7/G F
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
C
The time has gone
G
