C
Gray November

                     F
I've been down since July

C
Motion capture

            F
Put me in a bad light

C                                      F
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone

                                    C
Trying to find the one where I went wrong

C
Writing letters

                 F
Addressed to the fire
[Chorus]
          C
And I was catching my breath

C
Staring out an open window

F
Catching my death

      C
And I couldn't be sure

                      F
I had a feeling so peculiar

F
That this pain would be for

C           F
Evermore
C C/B Am G F G [Transition]
C
  Forgive me, Peter

    C/B
My lost fearless leader

     Am
In closets like cedar

    G                          F
Preserved from when we were just kids

                   G
Is it something I did?

     C
The goddess of timing

      C/B
Once found us beguiling

     Am
She said she was trying

   G
Peter, was she lying?

    F                        G
My ribs get the feeling she did
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am         G       F
And I didn't wanna come down

    Am        G          F
You said it was just goodbye for now
[Chorus]
     Dm
You 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                F        Dm
Promises oceansssss deep

        C           C/B     Am    G
But never to keep

              F   F    G    Am
Oh, never to keep

             C                            Am
And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn

        F                  G
As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return

           C                           Am
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned

        F                         G
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

          C                              Am
And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty-five

          F                      G
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired

 C                          Am
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life

F                           G
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried

    Am             G
To hold on to the days

               F
When you were mine

         Am                    G
But the woman who sits by the window

                F           Dm
Has turned out   the light
[Transition] C F [Chorus]
          C
And I was catching my breath

                           F
Floors of a cabin creaking under my step

      C
And I couldn't be sure

                      F
I had a feeling so peculiar

F
This pain wouldn't be for
[Transition]
C       C/B  Am  G                 F                             G
Evermore            It wouldn't be for evermore, it wouldn't be for evermore

C  C/B           Am              G                    F           G
      Forgive me Peter, but this pain wouldn't be for evermore

C                                G
   And when I was shipwrecked

  Am                     G
I thought of you

F
 In the cracks of light

  G
I dreamed of you

F
 It was real enough

   Am
To get me through
F G
  Am
I swear

C
You were there
C F
