             E                             A
Tonight the moon is pretty as a brand new rose
         E
And the nosey stars seem to know
      A
Where everybody goes
    E               B/D#
As poets reach for words
      C#m7         B
With broken motel pens
        A
Here’s something to hold on to till
B
I come home again

          E                          A
Here the days don’t have names they got numbers
         B                               A/C#
And the nights just seems to dance into each other
        E               B/D#       C#m7            B
Sacred lovers are like fire flies each one has a spark
  A                            B
Trying to fill the whole where once there was a heart

Chorus:
E            A                  B
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
E                                  A              B
Following my headlights don’t the highway in the dark
E            A                  B
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
F#m                  G#m         A
Postmarked from the state of my heart
    B         G#m       A
In care of wherever you are
                    E
Postcards from the Wasteland

      E/G#                              A
Now before the summer sun gets chased away
    B                               A/C#
And all of our tomorrows turn into yesterdays
           E              B/D#
I’m gonna build you that castle
          C#m7            B
I’m gonna write you that song
         A
I gotta find the words to say
            B
Until I’ve got you in my arms

Chorus:
E            A                  B
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
E                                  A              B
Following my headlights don’t the highway in the dark
E            A                  B
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
F#m                  G#m         A
Postmarked from the state of my heart
    B         G#m       A
In care of wherever you are
                    D       G A
