Intro G Bm Em D C D
G
forgive me, peter
Bm
my lost fearless leader
Em
in closets like cedar
D C
preserved from when we were just kids..
D
is it somethin' i did..?
G
the Goddess of timing
Bm
once found us beguiling
Em
she said she was trying
D
peter, was she lying?
C D
my ribs.. get the feelin' she did..
Em D C
and i didn't want to 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
then you were gonna come find me
Am
said you were gonna grow up
C
then you were gonna come find me
Em
words from the mouths of babes
D C
promises oceans.. deep..
Am (G)
but never.. to keep..
Int. G Bm Em D
C D
oh, never to keep..
G
are you still a mind reader?
Bm
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
Bm
when crossing your jet stream
Em
we both did the best
D C
we could do underneath the same moon..
D
in different galaxies..
Em D C
and i didn't want to hang.. around..
Em D C
we said 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
then you were gonna come find me
Am
said you were gonna grow up
C
then you were gonna come find me
Em
words from the mouths of babes
D C
promises oceans.. deep..
Am (G)
but never.. to keep..
Int. G Bm Em D
C D
oh, 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 D
and the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
G Em
lost to the lost boys chapter of your life
C D
forgive me, peter, please know that i tried
Em D C
to hold on.. to the days.. when you were mine..
(hold on, to the days)
Em D
but the woman who sits by the window
C Am
has turned out.. the light..
Chorus

said you were gonna grow up
C
then you were gonna come find me
Em
words from the mouths of babes
D C
promises oceans.. deep..
Am G
but never.. to keep..
