[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Honey,
now that your shackles are gone
[C]And you're out there on your own
Won't you [G]let me know
If things get [D]hard
[G]Honey, now that your
shackle's been lifted
You're [C]a sweet young thing
and you're oh so gifted
Will you [G]let me know
If [D]things turn bad

[Verse 2]
I wasn't [C]looking for trouble [G]but trouble came
I wasn't [C]looking to change,
I'll never [G]be the same
But [Em]life's not what you [C]make [D]it,
baby
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Send me a postcard
[D]When you get to where
[C]you're [G]going
[Em]Send me a line
To [D]everything you've [C]left be[G]hind

[Verse 4]
[G]Honey, now that I've found my way
And [C]I miss you more than I can say
Won't you [G]promise to
Say a prayer for [D]me
[G]Honey, now that the morning's come
[C]We're both still out on the run
Won't you [G]let me know
If you [D]feel [G]free
[D]

[Verse 5]
We were [C]looking to mend
it but we [G]tore it apart
And [C]I went and broke my
[G]own goddamned heart
See, [Em]life's not what you [C]make [D]it,
baby
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Send me a postcard
[D]When you get to where you[C]'re going
[G]Sen[Em]d me a line
To [D]everything you've [C]left be[G]hind

[Interlude 1]
Pick it for me, James
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]I was just a kid when I fell for you
I'm not [C]much older now
but even then I knew
That the [G]road was steep and full [D]of strife

[Verse 8]
[D]
I never [C]knew what to say,
could never [G]get it right
And I'm [C]alone again at the
[G]end of night
[Em]But life's not what you [C]make [D]it, baby
[G]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Send me a postcard
[D]When you get to where you[C]'re going
[G]Sen[Em]d me a line
To [D]everything you've [C]left be[G]hind[C][D]
