Intro: C#C#A#mG#F#F#G#
Verse:
C#
Forgive me, Peter
C#
My lost fearless leader
A#m
In closets like cedar
G#F#
Preserved from when we were just kids
G#
Is it something I did?
C#
The goddess of timing
C#
Once found us beguiling
A#m
She said she was trying
G#
Peter, was she lying?
F#G#
My ribs get the feeling she did
Pre-chorus:
A#mG#F#
And I didnʼt wanna come down
A#mG#F#
I thought it was just goodbye for now
Chorus:
D#m
You said you were gonna grow up
F#
Then you were gonna come find me
A#m
Said you were gonna grow up
G#
Thеn you were gonna come find mе
D#m
Said you were gonna grow up
F#
Then you were gonna come find me
A#m
Words from the mouths of babes
G#F#D#m
Promises oceansssss deep
C#C#A#mG#
But never to keep
F#F#G#
Oh, never to keep
Verse:
C#
Are you still a mind reader?
C#
A natural scene stealer?
A#m
Iʼve 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
C#
When crossing your jet stream
A#mG#
We both did the best we could do
F#
Underneath the same moon
G#
In different galaxies
Pre-chorus:
A#mG#F#
And I didnʼt wanna hang around
A#mG#F#
We said it was just goodbye for now

Bridge:
C#A#m
And I wonʼt confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
F#G#
As the men masqueraded, I hoped youʼd return
C#A#m
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that youʼd learned
F#G#
ʼCause loveʼs never lost when perspective is earned
C#A#m
And you said youʼd come and get me, but you were twenty-five
F#G#
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
C#A#m
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
F#G#
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried
A#mG#
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)
F#
When you were mine
A#mG#
But the woman who sits by the window
F#D#m
Has turned out the light
Chorus:
D#m
You said you were gonna grow up
F#
Then you were gonna come find me
A#mG#
Said you were gonna grow up
D#m
You said you were gonna grow up
F#
Then you were gonna come find me
A#mG#
Said you were gonna grow up
D#m
You said you were gonna grow up
F#
Then you were gonna come find me
A#m
Said you were gonna grow up
G#
Thеn you were gonna come find mе
D#m
Said you were gonna grow up
F#
Then you were gonna come find me
A#m
Words from the mouths of babes
G#F#F#D#m
Promises oceanssss deep
C#
But neverrrrr to keep
