INTRO: D5 G5 D5 G5 twice 
 
D5            G5      D5                 G5 
I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar 
    D5                  G5                     D5             G5       
and Rachel, she's the waitress who wants to be a star. 
     C5                  G5      C5            G5 
She swears she's gonna make it, make it big someday 
         C5               A5              D5      G5   D5    G5       
and she'll send me picture postcards from LA 
 
When it's time for closing I play while Rachel sings 

She listens to my music, I listen to her dreams 

She swears she's gonna make it, she's goin' all the way, 

and I say, "Send me picture postcards from LA." 
 

      E5            B5            G5                D5 
Send me postcards from LA signed with love forevermore. 
      E5             B5              G5 
Picture postcards from LA to hang on my refrigerator door. 
E5            F#5                  G5              A5              D5     G5   D5    G5       
Rachel, if you find me one I'd love a picture of the California sun. 
       
When Rachel shares my pillow she always asks me things 

like do I really think she's pretty, do I like the way she sings? 

I don't know how to answer, so I always smile and say, 

I say, "Send me picture postcards from LA." 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Bridge: 
Bb5        C5                    F5            Bb5 
Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the bar 
         C5                    F5 
and does a scene from the late show. 
Bb5       C5                 F5                 Bb5 
We all clap our hands as she puts her apron on 
            C5            D5      G5      D5      G5 
and says, "Next week, I'm gonna go!" 
 
She'll even buy a ticket and pack her things to leave. 
Though we all know the story we pretend that we believe 
But something always comes up, something always makes her stay. 
And still no picture postcards from LA. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar 
and Rachel, she's the waitress who wants to be a star.
