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 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:
            C                      G
I wasn't looking for trouble but trouble came
          C                            G
I wasn't looking to change, I'll never be the same
     Em                 C  D     G
But life's not what you make it, baby

Em
Send me a postcard
D                           C   G
When you get to where you're going

Send me a line

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:
          C                       G
We were looking to mend it but we tore it apart
      C                  G
And I went and broke my own goddamned heart
      Em                 C  D      G
See, life's not what you make it, baby

Send me a postcard

G
I was just a kid when I fell for you
          C
I'm not much older now but even then I knew

That the road was steep and full of strife

Pre-Chorus:
         C                             G
I never knew what to say, could never get it right
         C                  G
And I'm alone again at the end of night
     Em                 C D      G
For life's not what you make it, baby
