G Gmaj7
If I could write a letter to me
G Gmaj7
And send it back in time to myself at 17
C G/B
First I''d prove its me by saying look under your bed
Am D
There''s a skoal can and a playboy no one else would know you hid
G Gmaj7
And then I''d say I know it''s tough
G Gmaj7
When you break up after seven months
C G/B
Yea I know you really liked her and it just don''t seem fair
Am D
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it''s rare

G D/F# Em G
And Oh you got so much going for you going right
C G/B Am D
But I know at 17 it''s hard to see past Friday night
G D/F# Em
She wasn''t right for you and still you feel like
G C G/B
There''s a knife sticking out of your back
Am D
And you''re wonderin if you''ll survive
C G/B Am
But you''ll make it through this and you''ll see
C D G
You''re still around to write this letter to me

G Gmaj7
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th
G Gmaj7
Always stop completely don''t just tap your brakes
C
And when you get a date with Bridgette
G/B
Make sure the tank is full
Am D
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
G Gmaj7
Each and every time you have a fight
G Gmaj7
Just assume you''re wrong and dad is right
C
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
G/B
She spent so much extra time
Am
It''s like she sees the diamond underneath
D
And she''s polishing you til you shine

G D/F# Em G
And Oh you got so much going for you going right
C G/B Am D
But I know at 17 it''s hard to see past Friday night
G D/F#
Tonights the bonfire rally
Em G
But you''re staying home instead
C G/B Am D
Because if you fail algebra mom and dad will kill you dead
C G/B Am
But trust me you''ll squeak by and get a C
C D G
And you''re still around to write this letter to me

C G/B Am G D G
You got so much up ahead
C G
You''ll make new friends
C G/B D G
You should see your kids and wife
C G/B Am G D
And I''d end by saying have no fear
C G/B Am G F C/E D
These are nowhere near the best years of your life

I guess I''ll see you in the mirror

When you''re a grown man
Am D
P.S. go hug aunt Rita every chance you can

G D/F# Em G
And Oh you got so much going for you going right
C G/B Am D

I wish you''d study Spanish
Em G
I wish you''d take a typing class
C G/B Am
I wish you wouldn''t worry and let it be
C G/B Am D
I''d say have a little faith and you''ll see
G Gmaj7
If I could write a letter to me
G
To me
