Letter to Me Brad Paisley
If [G]I could write a letter to [Gmaj7]me
And s[G]end it back in time to m[Gmaj7]yself at 17
First I'd p[C]rove it's me by saying l[G/B]ook under your bed
There's a S[Am]koal can and a Playboy no one el[D]se would know you hid
v2
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
chorus1
And [G]oh you [D/F#]got so much g[Em]oing for you g[G]oing right
But [C]I know at [G/B]17 it's [Am]hard to see past Fr[D]iday night
[G]She wasn't r[D/F#]ight for you and st[Em]ill you feel like th[G]ere's a knife
st[C]icking out of [G/B]your back and you're w[Am]ondering if y[D]ou'll survive
[C]You'll make it thr[G/B]ough this and you'll s[Am]ee[G]
You're still ar[C]ound to write this l[D]etter to me
G Gmaj7 x2
v3
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
v4
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishin' you 'til you shine
chorus2
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me
C - G –Am -G D G
You've got so much up ahead
You'll m[C]ake new fri[G]ends
You should s[C]ee y[G]our k[D]ids and wife[G]
C - G –Am-G D Em
And I'd end by saying have no fear
These are n[C]owh[G]ere n[Am]ear t[G]he b[F]est years [C]of your l[D]ife
I guess I'll s[C]ee you in the mirror
When y[G/B]ou're a grown man
P.[Am]S. go hug Aunt Rita e[D]very chance you can
Chorus3
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I w[C]ish you wouldn't [G/B]worry, let it [Am]be
[Am-G/B]I'd say h[C]ave a little[G/B] faith and you'll [Am]see[D]
If [G]I could write a letter to [Gmaj7]me
To m[G]e[Gmaj7] [G]
