[Intro]
 
C  C/B  Am7  Gsus4  Fmaj7  Fmaj7  Gsus4  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C
  Forgive me, Peter
    C/B
My lost fearless leader
     Am7
In closets like cedar
    Gsus4                          Fmaj7
Preserved from when we were just kids
                   Gsus4    G
Is it something I did?
     C
The goddess of timing
      C/B
Once found us beguiling
     Am7
She said she was trying
   Gsus4
Peter, was she lying?
    Fmaj7                      Gsus4  G
My ribs get the feeling she did
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Am         G       F
And I didn't 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/B     Am7    Gsus4
But never to keep
              Fmaj7   Fmaj7    Gsus4    G
Oh, never to keep
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
          C
Are you still a mind reader?
  C/B
A natural scene stealer?
      Am7
I've heard great things, Peter
     Gsus4                  Fmaj7
But life was always easier on you
               Gsus4    G
Than it was on me
      C
And sometimes it gets me
       C/B
When crossing your jet stream
    Am7                         Gsus4
We both did the best we could do
                  Fmaj7
Underneath the same moon
                   Gsus4   G
In different galaxies
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Am        G        F
And I didn't 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/B     Am7    Gsus4
But never to keep
              Fmaj7    Fmaj7   Gsus4    G
Oh, never to keep
 
 
[Bridge]
 
             C                            Am
And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
        F                  G
As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return
           C                           Am
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned
        F                         G
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned
          C                              Am
And you said you'd 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
