Peter / Evermore (medley)

Intro C  F  C  F 
 

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 


          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 
 

    Am         G       F 
And I didn't wanna come down 
    Am        G          F 
You said it was just goodbye for now 

 

     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 
And you said you'd come and get me 
Am 
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 
 

          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
