Intro
[C] [G/B] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
[C] forgive me, peter
my [G/B]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/B]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]wanna c[F]ome down..
i [Am]thought it was [G]just good[F]bye for now..
Chorus
you [Dm]said you were gonna grow up
[F]then you were gonna come find me
[Am]said you were gonna grow up
[G]thΠ΅n you were gonna come find mΠ΅
[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
[F]then you were gonna come find me
[Am]words from the mouths of babes
[G]promises ocean[F]s.. deep.[Dm].
but nev[C]er to keep.[G/B]. [Am] [G]
oh, never to [F]keep..[G]
are you s[C]till a mind reader?
a [G/B]natural scene stealer?
i’ve [Am]heard great things, peter
but l[G]ife was always easier [F]on you
than it was on [G]me..
and [C]sometimes it gets me
when [G/B]crossing your jet stream
we [Am]both did the best we could [G]do
underneath the sa[F]me moon..
in different gala[G]xies..
and [Am]i didn’t [G]wanna ha[F]ng around..
we [Am]said it was [G]just good[F]bye for now..
Chorus
you [Dm]said you were gonna grow up
[F]then you were gonna come find me
[Am]said you were gonna grow up
[G]thΠ΅n you were gonna come find mΠ΅
[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
[F]then you were gonna come find me
[Am]words from the mouths of babes
[G]promises ocean[F]s.. deep.[Dm].
but nev[C]er to keep.[G/B]. [Am] [G]
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 twenty-five
and the [F]shelf life of those
fanta[G]sies has expired
l[C]ost to the “lost boys”
chap[Am]ter of your life
[F]forgive me, peter,
please [G]know that i tried
to [Am]hold on (hold on)
to the [G]days (to the days)
when you were [F]mine..
but the [Am]woman who sits by the [G]window
has turned ou[F]t the light.[Dm].
Chorus
you [Dm]said you were gonna grow up

[G]thΠ΅n you were gonna come find mΠ΅
[Dm]said you were gonna grow up
[F]then you were gonna come find me
[Am]words from the mouths of babes
[G]promises ocean[F]s.. deep.[Dm].
