[Intro]
F
I guess Peter Pan was right
Am
Growing up’s a waste of time
Dm
So I think I’ll fly away
Bb
Set a course for brighter days
F
Find the second star, I’m soar - ing
Am
Then straight on to the mor - ning
Dm
I know that I’ll be fine
Bb
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
[Verse 1]
F
Just a lost boy in a small town
Am
I'm the same kid but I'm growing now
Dm
Try to make it out but I don't know how
Bb
Wish that I was young what have I become
F
Now it's late night and I'm at home
Am
So I make friends with my shadow
Dm
And I play him all my sad, sad songs
Bb
And we don't talk but he sings along like
[Pre-chorus]
F Am
Oooh, fairy tales are not the truth
Dm
What am I supposed to do
Bb
Mmmmmm....
[Chorus]
F
I guess Peter Pan was right
Am
Growing up’s a waste of time
Dm
So I think I’ll fly away
Bb
Set a course for brighter days
F
Find the second star, I’m soar - ing
Am
Then straight on to the mor - ning
Dm
I know that I’ll be fine
Bb
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
[Verse 2]
F
Days feel like a blur now
Am
Still feel eighteen but I'm burnt out
Dm
So I daydream of what I could be
Bb
If I turned back time to a storyline
F
Where my mom read me a tale where
Am
A couple kids, one girl and a sailor
Dm
Met a boy in green, I thought it'd be me
Bb
But I guess that dream wasn't meant to be like...
[Pre-chorus]
F Am
Oooh, fairy tales are not the truth
Dm
What am I supposed to do
Bb
Mmmmmm....
[Chorus]
F
I guess Peter Pan was right
Am
Growing up’s a waste of time
Dm
So I think I’ll fly away
Bb
Set a course for brighter days
F
Find the second star, I’m soar - ing
Am
Then straight on to the mor - ning
Dm
I know that I’ll be fine
Bb
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
[Bridge]
Bb
And I don't care
C
If I never land
F
'Cause the distant sky's
Dm
Always better than
Bb
My life right now
C
And the place I am
F
So for one last time
Dm
I guess Peter Pan
Bb C
[Outro]
F
I guess Peter Pan was right
Am
Growing up’s a waste of time
Dm
So I think I’ll fly away
Bb
Set a course for brighter days
F
Find the second star, I’m soar - ing
Am
Then straight on to the mor - ning
Dm
I know that I’ll be fine
Bb
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
Just a lost boy in a small town
I'm the same kid but I'm grown now
Try to make it out but I don't know how
Wish that I was young, what have I become?
Now it's late night and I'm at home
So I make friends with my shadow
And I play him all my sad, sad songs
And we don't talk but he sings along like
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fairytales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do? (Mm-mm, mm)
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
Days feel like a blur now
Still feel, eighteen, but I'm burnt out
So I daydream of what I could be
If I turned back time to a storyline where my
Mom read me a tale where
A couple kids, one girl and a sailor
Met a boy in green, I thought it'd be me
But I guess that dream wasn't meant to be like
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fairytales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do? (Mm-mm, mm)
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
And I don't care if I never land
'Cause the distant sky's always better than
My life right now and the place I am
So for one last time, I guess Peter Pan
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
