Am E7 AmThat's another day gone by, son, close your eyesC G FFor the moon is chasing clouds across the skiesAm E7Got to sleep and have no fear, sonC G FFor your mam and dad are near, sonG F E7And the giant is just a shadow on the wallAm E7 AmGo to sleep and when you wake it will be lightC G FThere's no need to fear the darkness of the nightAm E7It's not like the dark you find, sonC G FIn the depths of some men's minds, sonG F E7That defies the daily coming of the dawnAm E7 AmStop crying now, let daddy dry your tearsC G FThere's no bogeyman to get you, never fearAm E7There's no ogres, wicked witchesC G FOnly greedy sons-of-bitchesG F E7Who are waiting to exploit your life awayAm E7 AmLie easy in your bed and grow up strongC G FYou'll be needing all your strength before too longAm E7For you'll soon be on your way, sonC G FFighting battles every day, sonG F E7With an enemy who thinks he owns the worldAm E7 AmDon't you let 'em buy you out or break your prideC G FDon't you let yourself be used then cast asideAm E7If you listen to their lyingC G FThey will con you into dyingG F E7You won't even know that you were once aliveAm E7 AmNo more talking now it's time to go to sleepC G FThere are answers to your questions but they'll keepAm E7Go on asking while you grow, sonC G FGo on asking till you know, sonE7 F GAnd then send the answers ringing through the worldG F E7And then send the answers ringing through the world
