Intro: A Amaj7 A Amaj7
A Amaj7
If I could write a letter to me
A Amaj7
And send it back in time to myself at 17
D A/C#
First I'd prove its me by saying look under your bed
Bm E
There's a skoal can and a playboy no one else would know you hid
A Amaj7
And then I'd say I know it's tough
A Amaj7
When you break up after seven months
D A/C#
Yea I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
Bm E
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
A E/G# F#m A
And Oh you got so much going for you going right
D A/C# Bm E
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G# F#m
She wasn't right for you and still you feel like
A D A/C#
There's a knife sticking out of your back
Bm E
And you're wonderin if you'll survive
D A/C# Bm
But you'll make it through this and you'll see
D E A
You're still around to write this letter to me
A Amaj7
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th
A Amaj7
Always stop completely don't just tap your brakes
D
And when you get a date with Bridgette
A/C#
Make sure the tank is full
Bm E
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
A Amaj7
Each and every time you have a fight
A Amaj7
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
D
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
A/C#
She spent so much extra time
Bm
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
E
And she's polishing you til you shine
A E/G# F#m A
And Oh you got so much going for you going right
D A/C# Bm E
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G#
Tonights the bonfire rally
F#m A
But you're staying home instead
D A/C# Bm E
Because if you fail algebra mom and dad will kill you dead
D A/C# Bm
But trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
D E A
And you're still around to write this letter to me
D A/C# Bm A E A
You got so much up ahead
D A
You'll make new friends
D A/C# E A
You should see your kids and wife
D A/C# Bm A E
And I'd end by saying have no fear
D A/C# Bm A G D/F# E
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
D
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
A/C#
When you're a grown man
Bm E
P.S. go hug aunt Rita every chance you can
A E/G# F#m A
And Oh you got so much going for you going right
D A/C# Bm E
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G#
I wish you'd study Spanish
F#m A
I wish you'd take a typing class
D A/C# Bm
I wish you wouldn't worry and let it be
D A/C# Bm E
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
A Amaj7
If I could write a letter to me
A
To me
