Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: B B G#m F# E E F#

Verse:
B
  Forgive me, Peter
      B
  My lost fearless leader
       G#m
  In closets like cedar
      F#                              E
  Preserved from when we were just kids
                     F#
  Is it something I did?
       B
  The goddess of timing
        B
  Once found us beguiling
       G#m
  She said she was trying
     F#
  Peter, was she lying?
      E                          F#
  My ribs get the feeling she did

Pre-chorus:
      G#m         F#       E    
  And I didnʼt wanna come down
      G#m            F#          E    
  I thought it was just goodbye for now

Chorus:
       C#m
  You said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m
  Said you were gonna grow up
   F#
  Thеn you were gonna come find mе
   C#m
  Said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m
  Words from the mouths of babes
   F#                E        C#m
  Promises oceansssss deep
          B           B      G#m      F#
  But never to keep
                E       E      F#
  Oh, never to keep

Verse:
            B
  Are you still a mind reader?
    B
  A natural scene stealer?
        G#m
  Iʼve heard great things, Peter
       F#                      E
  But life was always easier on you
                 F#
  Than it was on me
        B
  And sometimes it gets me
         B
  When crossing your jet stream
      G#m                          F#
  We both did the best we could do
                    E
  Underneath the same moon
                     F#
  In different galaxies

Pre-chorus:
      G#m        F#        E    
  And I didnʼt wanna hang around
      G#m          F#      E    
  We said it was just goodbye for now

Chorus:
       C#m
  You said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m
  Said you were gonna grow up
   F#
  Thеn you were gonna come find mе
   C#m
  Said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m
  Words from the mouths of babes
   F#                E        C#m
  Promises oceansssss deep
          B           B      G#m      F#
  But never to keep
                E       E      F#
  Oh, never to keep

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

Chorus:
       C#m
  You said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m                         F#
  Said you were gonna grow up
       C#m
  You said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m                         F#
  Said you were gonna grow up
       C#m
  You said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m
  Said you were gonna grow up
   F#
  Thеn you were gonna come find mе
   C#m
  Said you were gonna grow up
   E
  Then you were gonna come find me
   G#m
  Words from the mouths of babes
   F#               E        E    C#m
  Promises oceanssss  deep
            B
  But neverrrrr to keep
