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