verse 1
G
Honey, now that your shackles are gone
C
And you're out there on your own
G
Won't you let me know
D
If things get hard
G
Honey, now that your shackle's been lifted
C
You're a sweet young thing and you're oh so gifted
G
Will you let me know
D
If things turn bad
Pre-Chorus
Am G
I wasn't looking for trouble, but trouble came
Am G
I wasn't looking to change, I'll never be the same
Em7 Am C G
But life's not what you make it, baby
Em7
Send me a postcard
C G
When you get to where you're going
Em7
Send me a line
Am C G
To everything you've left behind
verse 2
G
Honey, now that I've found my way
C
And I miss you more than I can say
G
Won't you promise to
D
Say a prayer for me
G
Honey, now that the morning's come
C
We're both still out on the run
G
Won't you let me know
D
If you feel free
Pre-Chorus
Am G
We were looking to mend it but we tore it apart
Am G
And I went and broke my own goddamned heart
Em7 Am C G
See, life's not what you make it, baby
Em7
Send me a postcard
C G
When you get to where you're going
Em7
Send me a line
Am C G
To everything you've left behind
Bridge
G
I was just a kid when I fell for you
C
I'm not much older now but even then I knew
G D
That the road was steep and full of stride
Pre-Chorus
Am G
I never knew what to say, could never get it right
Am G
And I'm alone again at the end of night
Em7 Am C G
But life's not what you make it, baby
Em7
Send me a postcard
C G
When you get to where you're going
Em7
Send me a line
Am C G
To everything you've left behind
