[G#m] [B] [F#]
[G#] [G#m] [D#m]
[B] And how [F#] many lives does it [G#] take to ruin [G#m] a single?
[B] I [F#] once learned [G#] of a boy, he [G#m] couldn't sing at [B] all,
yet [F#] he knew [G#] every note of [G#m] my song.
[B] [F#] [G#]
[G#m] [B] Found [F#] one day they [C#] called him [G#m] the wild boy,
[B]
[F#] he's a mess, [C#] he's a man, what [G#m] should we do with [B] him?
He [F#] saw a tree, [C#] called it long, and she called [B] him soon.

Peter, [C#] what [B] makes you sad?
How [F#] in the [C#] ditch did you make it?

[C#] [B]
[F#] [C#] [B]
I [F#] knew a person [G#] who ran up on [G#m] the white [B] school,
[F#] he had no shoe, he [C#] was sad, [G#m] he was fit,
[B] and in the [F#] blink of an eye, glance, he [G#] grew up here,
and [G#m] remember, [B] [F#] [C#] he could never stand to sleep.
[B] [F#] Peter,
[C#] what makes [B] you sad?
How [F#] in the ditch [C#] did you make it?
[B] [F#] [C#] How do [B] you know your eyebrows [F#] are now [C#] where your chest is?
[G#]
[F#] [C#] [G#]
[B] [F#] And [G#]
[G#m] [B] the year [F#] that he died, [C#] the United States [G#] [G#m] dollar was [B] born,
and now [F#] when I pay for [G#] my lunch, I [G#m] feel the tree bark [B] skin.
He's [F#] in my purse, in [G#] my ears, he makes thoughts [B] begin.
