Monsters (video)

C - Em - Am - Am - C - F

C Em Am

1. Oh, before they turn off all the lights,

Am C F

I won't read you your wrongs or your rights,

C

the time has gone.

C Em Am

I'll tell you goodnight, close the door,

Am C F

tell you I love you, once more,

C G

the time has gone, so here it is.

F G

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

C Em Am

we're just two grown men saying goodbye.

F G

No need to forgive, no need to forget,

C Em Am

I know your mistakes and you know mine.

F G

And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud,

C Em Am

so, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?

F G C

Don't be afraid, it's my turn to chase the monsters away.

C Em Am

2. Oh, well, I'll read a story to you,

Am C F

only difference is this one is true,

C

the time has gone.

C Em Am

I folded your clothes on the chair,

Am C F

I hope you sleep well, don't be scared,

C G

the time has gone, so here it is.

F G

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

C Em Am

we're just two grown men saying goodbye.

F G

No need to forgive, no need to forget,

C Em Am

I know your mistakes and you know mine.

F G

And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud,

C Em Am

so, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes ?

F G C

Don't be afraid, it's my turn to chase the monsters away.

C Em Am C

+ Sleep a lifetime, yes, and breathe a last word,

F Am G

you can feel my hand on your own.

C Em Am C

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

F Am G

let there be no darkness in your heart !

+ CHORUS
