-Verse 1-
[C] Forgive me, Peter
My l[C/B]lost fearless leader
In cl[Am7]closets like cedar
Pres[Gsus4]Preserved from when we were just ki[Fmaj7]kids
Is it something I d[Gsus4]did? [G]
The g[C]goddess of timing
Once f[C/B]found us beguiling
She s[Am7]said she was trying
Pet[Gsus4]Peter, was she lying?
My r[Fmaj7]ribs get the feeling she did[Gsus4]did [G]
-Pre-Chorus-
And [Am]I didn't wa[G]wanna come[F]come down
I th[Am]ought it was j[G]ust goodbye[F] for now
-Chorus-
You s[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
S[Am]Said you were gonna grow up
T[G]Thеn you were gonna come find mе
S[Dm]Said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
W[Am]Words from the mouths of babes
P[G]Promises oceanssss[F]oceansssss deep [Dm]
But neve[C]never to keep [C/B] [Am7] [Gsus4]
Oh, never to k[Fmaj7]keep [Fmaj7] [Gsus4] [G]
-Verse 2-
Are you st[C]still a mind reader?
A [C/B]natural scene stealer?
I've h[Am7]heard great things, Peter
But l[Gsus4]life was always easier o[Fmaj7]on you
Than it was on [Gsus4]me [G]
And so[C]sometimes it gets me
When cr[C/B]crossing your jet stream
We b[Am7]both did the best we could do[Gsus4]do
Underneath the sam[Fmaj7]same moon
In different galaxi[Gsus4]galaxies [G]
-Pre-Chorus-
And [Am]I didn't w[G]wanna hang[F]hang around
We s[Am]aid it was j[G]ust goo[F]dbye for now
-Chorus-
You s[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
S[Am]Said you were gonna grow up
T[G]Thеn you were gonna come find mе
S[Dm]Said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
W[Am]Words from the mouths of babes
P[G]Promises oceanssss[F]oceansssss deep [Dm]
But neve[C]never to keep [C/B] [Am7] [Gsus4]
Oh, never to k[Fmaj7]keep [Fmaj7] [Gsus4] [G]
-Bridge-
And I won't c[C]confess that
I waited, but I l[Am]let the lamp burn
As the m[F]men masqueraded, I h[G]hoped you'd return
With your f[C]feet on the ground,
tell me a[Am]all that you'd learned
'Cause l[F]love's never lost when pers[G]perspective is earned
And you sa[C]said you'd come and get
me, but y[Am]you were twenty-five
And the sh[F]shelf life of those fanta[G]fantasies has expired
L[C]Lost to the "Lost Boys" chap[Am]chapter of your life
[F]Forgive me, Peter, please kn[G]know that I tried
To h[Am]hold on (Hold on) to the d[G]days (To the days)
When you were m[F]mine
But the w[Am]woman who sits by the w[G]window
Has turned out [F] the light [Dm]
-Chorus-
You s[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
S[Am]Said you were gonna grow up [G]
You s[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
S[Am]Said you were gonna grow up [G]
You s[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
S[Am]Said you were gonna grow up
T[G]Thеn you were gonna come find mе
S[Dm]Said you were gonna grow up
T[F]Then you were gonna come find me
W[Am]Words from the mouths of babes
P[G]Promises oceansss[F]oceanssss deep [F] [Dm]
But neverr[C]neverrrrr to keep
