Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: C C Am G F F G

Verse:
C
  Forgive me, Peter
      C
  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
        C
  Once found us beguiling
       Am
  She said she was trying
     G
  Peter, was she lying?
      F                          G
  My ribs get the feeling she did

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

Chorus:
       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 oceansssss deep
          C           C      Am      G
  But never to keep
                F       F      G
  Oh, never to keep

Verse:
            C
  Are you still a mind reader?
    C
  A natural scene stealer?
        Am
  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
      Am                          G
  We both did the best we could do
                    F
  Underneath the same moon
                     G
  In different galaxies

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

Chorus:
       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 oceansssss deep
          C           C      Am      G
  But never to keep
                F       F      G
  Oh, never to keep

Bridge:
               C                            Am
  And I wonʼt confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
          F                  G
  As the men masqueraded, I hoped youʼd return
             C                           Am
  With your feet on the ground, tell me all that youʼd learned
          F                         G
  ʼCause loveʼs never lost when perspective is earned
            C                              Am
  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                          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

Chorus:
       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
  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        F    Dm
  Promises oceanssss  deep
            C
  But neverrrrr to keep
