[Intro ]

     A             D 
On a postcard by a glass of wine 
     A          E               D 
In a small cafe just outside of Paris 
     A                  D 
By a rope swing danglin in the breeze 
       A                E               D 
Carved in the bark of a dogwood tree in Kansas

       A               D 
With a red crayon on a notebook sheet 
A                  E              D 
Spelled out with a backwards e in first grade 
     A           D 
On a overpass outside of town 
A             E               D 
Hearts, spray painted around, two names
