Intro: BBG#mF#EEF#
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?
EF#
My ribs get the feeling she did

G#mF#E
And I didnʼt wanna come down

I thought it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Thеn you were gonna come find mе

Then you were gonna come find me

But never to keep
EEF#
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#mF#
We both did the best we could do
E
Underneath the same moon
F#
In different galaxies

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

You said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up

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
