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

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

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
