Standard (EADGBE)

Everyone's on a rocket ship

Leaving the earth ooh-oh-oh

Shooting up so fast into the great unknown

Letting go of the nursery rhymes

Locked on land ooh-oh-oh

Left behind in another time all alone

I know that I can't be a kid forever

But I know that I must live it now or never

Guys I am not like Peter Pan

I can't live forever in a Neverland

But I'm not gonna grow up too fast

I want my childhood to last

I am not like the boys and girls

Who live in their never-aging world

I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat

But even I can't do that

See 'em taking off

 I see 'em going so fast ooh-oh-oh

Watch 'em leaving me behind as part of their past

Putting on a cover

In a world their own ooh-oh-oh

With their painted faces standing all alone

I know that I can't be a kid forever

But I know that I must live it now or never

Guys I am not like Peter Pan

I can't live forever in a Neverland

But I'm not gonna grow up too fast

I want my childhood to last

I am not like the boys and girls

Who live in their never-aging world

I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat

But even I can't do that

Everyone's pushing for us to grow up

 But everything's happening way too fast

Everything's changing it's all rearranging

 But you only live once

Guys I am not like Peter Pan

I can't live forever in a Neverland

But I'm not gonna grow up too fast

I want my childhood to last

I am not like the boys and girls

Who live in their never-aging world

I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat

But even I can't do that
