Peter Cifras

[Verse 1]
G
Forgive me, Peter
My lost fearless leader
   Em7
In closets like cedar
                                 Cadd9
Preserved from when we were just kids
                   D
Is it somethin' I did?
    G
The goddess of timing
Once found us beguiling
    Em7
She said she was trying
Peter, was she lying?
   Cadd9                    D
My ribs get the feeling she did
 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    G                 Em7
And I didn't wanna come down
  G                        Cadd9
I thought it was just goodbye for now
 
 
 
[Chorus]
    Cadd9
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
G
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Cadd9
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
D
Words from the mouths of babes
                G
Promises oceans deep
             Em7
But never to keep
             Cadd9  D
Oh, never to keep
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Are you still a mind reader?
A natural scene stealer?
     Em7
I've heard great things, Peter
                              Cadd9
But life was always easier on you
               D
Than it was on me
    G
And sometimes it gets me
When crossing your jet stream
   Em7
We both did the best we could do
                    Cadd9
Underneath the same moon
                 D
In different galaxies
 
 
 
[Pre—Chorus]
    G                 Em7
And I didn't wanna hang around
   G                    Cadd9
We said it was just goodbye for now
 
 
 
[Chorus]
    Cadd9
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
G
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Cadd9
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
D
Words from the mouths of babes
               G
Promises oceans deep
             Em7
But never to keep
             Cadd9  D
Oh, never to keep
 
 
 
[Bridge]
    G
And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
       Em7
As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return
          Cadd9
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned
       D
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned
        G
And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty—five
        Em7
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
Cadd9
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
D
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried
   G                        Em7
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)
              Cadd9
When you were mine
        G                     Em7
But the woman who sits by the window
                   D
Has turned out the light
 
 
 
[Chorus]
    Cadd9
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
G
Said you were gonna grow up
    Cadd9
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
G
Said you were gonna grow up
    Cadd9
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
G
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Cadd9
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
D
Words from the mouths of babes
               G
Promises oceans deep
             Cadd9
But never to keep
