Intro: [C] [C] [Am] [G] [F] [F] [G] [G]
[C]Forgive me Peter My [G]lost fearless leader
In [Am]closets like cedar Pre[G]served from
When we were just [F]kids is it something I [G]did
The [C]goddess of timing once [G]found us beguiling
She [Am]said she was trying Pe[G]ter was she lying
My [F]ribs get the feeling she [G]did
And [Am]I didn't [G]want to [F]come down I [Am]thought it was [G]just good[F]bye for now
You [Dm]said you were gonna grow up [F]then you were gonna come find me
You [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]promises, oceans [F]deep but never to [C]keep
[E7] [Am] [G]...Oh, never to [F]keep [G]
Are you [C]still a mind reader? A [G]natural scene stealer
I've [Am]heard great things Peter But [G]life was always easier on [F]you than it was on [G]me
And [C]sometimes it gets me when [G]crossing your jet stream
We [Am]both did the best we could [G]do underneath the same [F]moon in different gala[G]xies
And [Am]I didn't [G]want to [F]come down I [Am]thought it was [G]just good[F]bye for now
You [Dm]said you were gonna grow up [F]then you were gonna come find me
You [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]promises, oceans [F]deep but never to [C]keep
[E7] [Am] [G]...Oh, never to [F]keep [G]
And I won't con[C]fess that I waited But I [Am]let the lamp burn
As the [F]men masqueraded I [G]hoped you'd return
With your [C]feet on the ground Tell me [Am]all that you'd learned
Cause [F]love's never lost when pers[G]pective is earned
And you [C]said you'd come and get me but [Am]you were 25
And the [F]shelf life of those fanta[G]sies has expired
[C]Lost to the lost boys chap[Am]ter of your life
[F]Forgive me Peter, please [G]know that I tried
To [Am]hold onto the [G]days when you were [F]mine
But the w[Am]oman who sits by the [G]window has turned out the [F]light
You [F]said you were gonna grow up [Dm]Then you were gonna come find me
You [Am]said you were gonna grow up You [G]said you were gonna grow up
Then [F]you were gonna come find me [Dm]Said you were gonna grow up
You [Am]said you were gonna grow up [G]Then you were gonna come find me
You [F]said you were gonna grow up [Dm]Then you were gonna come find me
You [Am]said you were gonna grow up You [G]said you were gonna grow up
[Am]Words from the mouths of babes [G]promises, oceans [F]deep [Dm]
But never to [C]keep
