 E
Sundays sitting on your back porch
    B
And I came up with a couple of chords
       F#
And I played for you

     E
You let me keep you entertained
       B
With stories I exaggerate
          F#
That you know aren't true

           C#m
And as you sit there making daisy chains
    E
And I throw in a hand grenade
     B                           F#
And tell you how it is I really feel for you

Chorus:
             E
I'm sending postcards from my heart
      B                        F#
With love for a postmark and then...
              G#m          E
You know that you make me feel like
we've been caught
      B                        F#
Like kids in the school yard again
             G#m          E
And I can't keep it to myself
                    B
Can't spell it any better
           F#
L.O.V.E forever
            G#m           E
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
   B                          F#
I don't care who sees what I sent
                                          E
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

We chased the sun til it got away
On a bicycle that your daddy made
But not made for two
Then we sat out on your rocking chair
You with a flower in your hair
That I found for you
But then Monday always comes around
And it's sad cause I can't see you now
Want you to know you're always in my head

Chorus

          C#m
You know sometimes it's hard to see
     E
You say the world that torture me
    G#m                         F#
But inside I know exactly how I feel
      C#m
The things that I can't say out loud
      E
I'll find a place to write it down
   G#m                                F#
I hope that they will find you in the end

Chorus

Know, know, know
All the things I want you to
Know, know, know
