[Db] And fly away [Fm] to _ Neverland [Bbm] And give our [F] best to Peter Pan
_ _ When [Db] you reach for [Ab] the stars Don't [F] forget who you are
And please don't turn [C]
around And grow up way too [Db] _ _
fast
_ _ See the sand in my grasp From [F] the first to the last
Every [C] grain becomes a memory of [Db] the past Oh, life's an _ hourglass _
