[Verse 1]
D   D           A                Bm
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
  Bm                  A              G
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
        D
The time has gone
     D        A                   Bm
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Bm         A            G
Tell you I love you once more
    D
The time has gone
   A
So here it is
 
[Chorus]
             G                  A
I'm not your son, you're not my father
           D             A      Bm
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
   G                   A
No need to forgive, no need to forget
       D                 A        Bm
I know your mistakes and you know mine
    G                           A
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
   D            A                   Bm
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
         G               A
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
                      D
To chase the monsters away
 
[Verse 2]
D        D           A        Bm
Oh, well I'll read a story to you
     Bm            A           G
Only difference is this one is true
         D
The time has gone
  D           A              Bm
I folded your clothes on the chair
  Bm             A              G
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
    D
The time has gone
   A
So here it is
 
[Chorus]
             G                  A
I'm not your son, you're not my father
           D             A      Bm
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
   G                   A
No need to forgive, no need to forget
       D                 A        Bm
I know your mistakes and you know mine
    G                           A
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
   D            A                   Bm
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
         G               A
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
                      D
To chase the monsters away
 
[Bridge]
D       Bm
Sleep a lifetime
         D         Bm
Yes, and breathe a last word
        G       D            A
You can feel my hand on your arm
       D      Bm               D       Bm
I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on
          G     D                A
Let there be no darkness in your heart
 
[Chorus]
             G                  A
I'm not your son, you're not my father
           D             A      Bm
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
   G                   A
No need to forgive, no need to forget
       D                 A        Bm
I know your mistakes and you know mine
    G                           A
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
   D            A                   Bm
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
         G               A
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
                      D
To chase the monsters away

this song is so sad amazing tab

I find a great strumming pattern is down down up. That's it. Maybe emphasis on the first down, kind of mimics a heartbeat and jives well with the song & piano.

The key is D
