[Verse 1]
C                         Em
Heard you passed south of Baltimore,
F                G                      C
Wondering if you watched the ships roll in
C                         Em
Will you stay up 'til the dawn's early light
F           G               C          C
Do you ever wonder how I've been


[Chorus]
Am       Em       F            C
Postcard memories only paint a picture
Am         Em         F          G
Of how you are in one place at a time
C                        F      C
I need you now more than ever before
    Am               G         C
I'm waiting for you, come back home

[Verse 2]
C                         Em
It don't matter where you go when you're young
            F         G          C
When you're trying to outrun the past
C                Em
Like a ghost you travel through my dreams
  F            G                   C          C
I only see you through the looking glass


[Chorus]
Am       Em       F            C
Postcard memories only paint a picture
Am         Em         F          G
Of how you are in one place at a time
C                        F      C
I need you now more than ever before
    Am               G         C          C
I'm waiting for you, come back home

[Verse 3]
  C              C
I swear I forget most of what I learned
       F                G          C
As the earth moves from morning to night
C                     Em
One thing I know I'll always remember
     F            G              C          C
Your eyes shining in the morning light


[Chorus 2]
Am          Em                F              C
I thought I saw you out there dancing on the ocean
Am          Em                F             G         G
I thought I heard you singing too-ra-loo-ra-lie
C              F        C
I wanna be wherever you are
    Am               G         C
I'm waiting for you, come back home
C *                      F *    C * 
I need you now more than ever before
    Am *             G *       C
I'm waiting for you, come back home
