Verse 1: A Forgive me, Peter My lost fearless leader F#m7 In closets like cedar Cadd9 Preserved from when we were just kids E Is it somethin' I did? A The goddess of timing Once found us beguiling F#m7 She said she was trying Peter, was she lying? Cadd9 E My ribs get the feeling she did
Pre-Chorus: A F#m7 And I didn't wanna come down A Cadd9 I thought it was just goodbye for now Chorus: Cadd9 You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me A Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Cadd9 Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me E Words from the mouths of babes A Promises oceans deep F#m7 But never to keep Cadd9 E Oh, never to keep Verse 2: A Are you still a mind reader? B natural scene stealer? F#m7 I've heard great things, Peter Cadd9 But life was always easier on you E Than it was on me A And sometimes it gets me When crossing your jet stream F#m7 We both did the best we could do Cadd9 Underneath the same moon E In different galaxies Pre—Chorus: A F#m7 And I didn't wanna hang around A Cadd9 We said it was just goodbye for now Chorus: Cadd9 You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me A Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Cadd9 Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me E Words from the mouths of babes A Promises oceans deep F#m7 But never to keep Cadd9 E Oh, never to keep Bridge: A And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn F#m7 As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return Cadd9 With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned E 'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned A And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty—five F#m7 And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired Cadd9 Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life E Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried A F#m7 To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days) Cadd9 When you were mine A F#m7 But the woman who sits by the window E Has turned out the light Chorus: Cadd9 You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me A Said you were gonna grow up Cadd9 You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me A Said you were gonna grow up Cadd9 You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me A Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Cadd9 Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me E Words from the mouths of babes A Promises oceans deep Cadd9 But never to keep
