I don't believe the absolutes anymore

You have to fight against it every single day

Verse
FC
It is like so many other things
GmA#
As distant as your former sins
FC
So sad and lonely and so derelict
GmA#
As the optimism that we once shared
Chorus
DmA#Gm
These are the postcards from a young man
GmA#Csus4C
They may never be written or posted again
FCGm
These are the postcards from a young man
GmA#Csus4C
They may never be written or posted again

Bridge
GmCsus4C
I'll send you postcards every single day
GmCsus4C
Just to prove I still exist

This world will not impose its will

I will not give up and I will not give in
C
And I will not give up and I will not give in

FFsus4
I won't betray your confidence
FFsus4
I won't pretend my way was lost
