(Intro)
I guess [F]Peter Pan was right
Growing [Am]up’s a waste of time
So I [Dm]think I’ll fly away
Set a [Bb]course for brighter days
Find the [F]second star, I’m soar - ing
Then [Am]straight on to the mor - ning
I [Dm]know that I’ll be fine
'Cause I know [Bb]Peter Pan was right
(Verse 1)
Just a [F]lost boy in a small town
I'm the [Am]same kid but I'm growing now
Try to [Dm]make it out but I don't know how
Wish that [Bb]I was young what have I become
Now it's [F]late night and I'm at home
So I [Am]make friends with my shadow
And I [Dm]play him all my sad, sad songs
And [Bb]we don't talk but he sings along like
(Pre-chorus)
[F]Oooh, fairy [Am]tales are not the truth
[Dm]What am I supposed to do
[Bb]Mmmmmm....
(Chorus)
I guess [F]Peter Pan was right
Growing [Am]up’s a waste of time
So I [Dm]think I’ll fly away
Set a [Bb]course for brighter days
Find the [F]second star, I’m soar - ing
Then [Am]straight on to the mor - ning
I [Dm]know that I’ll be fine
'Cause I know [Bb]Peter Pan was right
(Verse 2)
[F]Days feel like a blur now
Still [Am]feel eighteen but I'm burnt out
So I [Dm]daydream of what I could be
If I [Bb]turned back time to a storyline
Where my [F]mom read me a tale where
[Am]A couple kids, one girl and a sailor
Met a [Dm]boy in green, I thought it'd be me
But I [Bb]guess that dream wasn't meant to be like...
(Pre-chorus)
[F]Oooh, fairy [Am]tales are not the truth
[Dm]What am I supposed to do
[Bb]Mmmmmm....
(Chorus)
I gu[F]guess Peter Pan was right
Grow[Am]Growing up’s a waste of time
S[Dm]So I think I’ll fly away
Se[Bb]Set a course for brighter days
Find [F]the second star, I’m soar - ing
Then [Am]straight on to the mor - ning
I [Dm]know that I’ll be fine
'Cause I know [Bb]Peter Pan was right
(Bridge)
And [Bb]I don't care
If I [C]never land
'Cause the [F]distant sky's
Always [Dm]better than
My [Bb]life right now
And the [C]place I am
So for [F]one last time
I guess [Dm]Peter Pan
[Bb] [C]
(Outro)
I guess [F]Peter Pan was right
Growing [Am]up’s a waste of time
So I [Dm]think I’ll fly away
Set a [Bb]course for brighter days

Then [Am]straight on to the mor - ning
I [Dm]know that I’ll be fine
'Cause I know [Bb]Peter Pan was right
