[Intro 1]
[Gm][G][Gm][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Peter
watches from the [D]window
[G]As all the pretty girls go [D]by
[G]Peering through the
cracks [F]in [C]curtains,
Peter gives the girls [D]the eye.
[G]Peter's coming up to twe[Gm]nty,
[C]never kissed a girl at [G]all.
An[F]d he never w[C]ill, and that he k[G]nows
No [F]matter how [C]well his [D]body grows
[G]The doctors shake their
head[D]s in sorrow
[G]There's nothing more that they [D]can do
May[G]be a miracle to[F]morrow
[C]That's all the hope there is for [D]you
[G]His mother wields him hom[Gm]e, not caring
[C]At how the [Gsus4]other peo[G]ple stand
An[F]d they always w[C]ill, and that s[G]he knows
No mat[F]ter how [C]well his [D]body grows
[G]The vicar comes to call [D]on Sunday
[G]To take a cup and have a [D]word
[G]An d when he wakes up [F]on Monday,
[C]Peter remembers all he [D]heard.
[G]The Lord will guide you and [Gm]pro tect you,
the [C]Lord will love and will [G]provide.
But [F]he never [C]will, and that [G]he knows
No [F]matter how [C]well his body [D]grows
[G]Peter buys books and reads the[D] stories
[G]About the normal people's [D]ways
[G]about where the hate an[F]d war is,
[C]about the wasted troubled [D]days.
[G]As Peter throws away the [Gm]paper,
his [Gsus4]father fe[C]eds him with a sp[G]oon.
An[F]d he always w[C]ill, and that he k[G]nows
No mat[F]ter how [C]well his [D]body grows
[G]Peter watches from the [D]window
[G]As all the pretty girls go [D]by
[G]Peering through the cracks
[F]in [C]curtains,
Peter gives the girls the [D]eye
[G]Peter's coming up [Gm]to twenty,
[C]never kissed a girl at [G]all
An[F]d he never w[C]ill, and that h[G]e knows
No mat[F]ter how [C]well his [D]body grows
