Peter

Intro

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