G                              C      G
I am sending you a postcard from the United States
      G                            C        D
With words on the back, never got a chance to say
        C                          D           Em
When it soars across that pond and reaches your house
       G                           C          G
May it leave you with closure and a little less doubt

[Verse 2]
         G                                 C               G
Hope you eased up on the drinking, hope you laugh, hope you care
          G                             C            D
Hope your days are even better than the ones that we shared
      C                               D              Em
And I hope that you find love, settle down somewhere new
      G                             C        G
And I hope that this world sees who I see in you

[Chorus]
  C                              C  Csus2 G
I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
  C                                  C Csus2       D
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn’t right
C               G    C            G
Ships in the night, ships in the night

C G

[Verse 2]
          G                               C           G
Since the last time I saw you, well, I’ve seen better days
     G                             C       D
The person that I used to be seems so far away
                C                              D         Em
And she’s not traveling down God’s highway, in books, or melodies
     G                            C             G
But maybe in these words is where you will find me

[Chorus]
  C                              C  Csus2 G
I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
  C                                  C Csus2       D
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn’t right
C               G    C            G
Ships in the night, ships in the night

C G

[Chorus]
  C                              C  Csus2 G
I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
  C                                  C Csus2       D
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn’t right
C               G    C            G      C             G
Ships in the night, ships in the night, ships in the night

C G

[Outro]
          C                       Bm
From this Arizonan desert to your cold English shores
    D                    C       G
I’m sending you my love, nothing more
    D                       C       G
I’m sending you my love and nothing more
