(Verse 1)
(C)Forgive me, Peter, my (C/B)lost fearless leader in (Am)closets like cedar
(G)Preserved from when we were just (F)kids, is it something I (G)did?
The (C)goddess of timing, once (C/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

(Pre-Chorus)
And (Am)I didn't (G)wanna come (F) down
I (Am)thought it was (G)just goodbye (F) 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)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)Promises oceans (F) deep (Dm)
But never (C) to keep (C/B) (Am) (G)
Oh, never to (F)keep (G)

(Verse 2)
Are you (C)still a mind reader?
A (C/B)natural scene stealer?
I've (Am)heard great things, Peter
But (G)life was always easier on (F) you
Than it was on (G)me and (C)sometimes it gets me
When (C/B)crossing your jet stream
We (Am)both did the best we could (G)do
Underneath the same (F) moon in different gala-(G)xies

(Pre-Chorus)
And (Am)I didn't (G)wanna hang (F) around
We (Am)said it was (G)just goodbye (F) 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)Thеn you were gonna come find mе
(C)Said you were gonna grow up
(F)Then you were gonna come find me
(Am)Words from the mouths of babes
(G)Promises oceans (F) deep (Dm)
But never (C) to keep (C/B) (Am) (G)
Oh, never to (F)keep / / / |(G) / /

(Bridge)
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 per-(G)spective 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
(C)Lost 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 out (F) the light (Dm) - - -

(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)
You (Dm)said you were gonna grow up
(F)Then you were gonna come find me
(Am)Said you were gonna grow up (G)
You (Dm)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)Promises oceans (F) deep
(Dm) But never (C)to keep - - - - -
