Intro G D Em D C D..
G
forgive me, peter
D
my lost fearless leader
Em
in closets like cedar
D C
preserved from when we were just kids..
D
is it something i did..?
G
the goddess of timing
D
once found us beguiling
Em
she said she was trying
D
peter, was she lying?
C D
my ribs.. get the feeling she did..
Em D C
and i didn't wanna come down..
Em D C
i thought it was just goodbye for now..
Chorus
Am
you said you were gonna grow up
C
then you were gonna come find me
Em
said you were gonna grow up
D
thеn you were gonna come find mе
Am
said you were gonna grow up
C
then you were gonna come find me
Em
words from the mouths of babes
D C Am
promises oceans.. deep..
G D Em D
but never to keep..
C D
oh, never to keep..
G
are you still a mind reader?
D
a natural scene stealer?
Em
i've heard great things, peter
D C
but life was always easier on you
D
than it was on me..
G
and sometimes it gets me
D
when crossing your jet stream
Em D
we both did the best we could do
C
underneath the same moon..
D
in different galaxies..
Em D C
and i didn't wanna hang around..
Em D C
we said it was just goodbye for now..

said you were gonna grow up
C
then you were gonna come find me
Em
words from the mouths of babes
D C Am
promises oceans.. deep..
G D Em D
but never to keep..
C D
never to keep..
G
and i won't confess that i waited,
Em
but i let the lamp burn
C
as the men masqueraded,
D
i hoped you'd return
G
with your feet on the ground,
Em
tell me all that you'd learned
C
'cause love's never lost
D
when perspective is earned
G
and you said you'd come and get me,
Em
but you were twenty-five
C
and the shelf life of those
D
fantasies has expired
G
lost to the "lost boys"
Em
chapter of your life
C
forgive me, peter,
D
please know that i tried
Em
to hold on (hold on)
D
to the days (to the days)
C
when you were mine..
Em D
but the woman who sits by the window
C Am
has turned out the light..
