Peter Pan Was Right

[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
