Verse:
C
Forgive me, Peter
C
My lost fearless leader
Am
In closets like cedar
GFmaj7
Preserved from when we were just kids
G
Is it something I did?
C
The goddess of timing

Once found us beguiling
Am
She said she was trying
G
Peter, was she lying?
Fmaj7G
My ribs get the feeling she did

Verse:
C
Are you still a mind reader?
C
A natural scene stealer?
Am
Iʼve heard great things, Peter
GFmaj7
But life was always easier on you
G
Than it was on me
C
And sometimes it gets me
C
When crossing your jet stream
AmG
We both did the best we could do

Underneath the same moon

In different galaxies

Bridge:
CAm
And I wonʼt confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
Fmaj7G
As the men masqueraded, I hoped youʼd return
CAm
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that youʼd learned
Fmaj7G
ʼCause loveʼs never lost when perspective is earned
CAm
And you said youʼd come and get me, but you were twenty-five
Fmaj7G
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
CAm
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
Fmaj7G
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried
AmG
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)
Fmaj7
When you were mine
AmG
But the woman who sits by the window
Fmaj7Dm
Has turned out the light
Chorus:
Dm
You said you were gonna grow up
