Song: Letter to me
[Intro]
C Em C Em C Em
[Verse 1]
C Em C Em
If I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself at 17
F Em
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
Dm G
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
C Em C Em
And then I'd say I know it's tough when you break up after seven months
F Em
And yeah, I know you really liked her, and it just don't seem fair
Dm G
All I can say is pain like that is fast, and it's rare.
[Chorus]
C Em Am Am7
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
F Am Dm G
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
C Em
She wasn't right for you
Am Am7 F Am
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
Dm G
And you're wondering if you'll survive
F Am Dm
You'll make it through this and you'll see
F G C Em
You're still around to write this letter to me.
[Verse 2]
C Em
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
C
Always stop completely
Em
Don't just tap your brakes
F
And when you get a date with Bridgett
Em
Make sure the tank is full
Dm
On second thought forget it
G
That one turns out kinda cool
C Em
Each and every time you have a fight
C Em
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
F
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
Em
She spent so much extra time
Dm
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
G
And she's polishing you 'til you shine.
[Chorus 2]
C Em Am Am7
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
F Am Dm G
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
C Em Am Am7
Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead
F Am Dm G
Because if you fail algebra, mom and dad will kill you dead
F Am Dm
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
F G C
And you're still around to write this letter to me.
[Verse 3]
C G C
You've got so much ahead
F C F Dm C
You'll make new friends, you should see your kids and wife
C G Am
And I'd end by saying have no fear
F Am Dm A# G
These are nowhere near the best years of your life.
C
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
Em
When you're a grown man
C G
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can.
[Chorus]
C Em Am Am7
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
F Am Dm G
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
C Em
I wish you'd study Spanish
Am Am7
I wish you'd take a typing class
F Am Dm
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
F Am Dm G
I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see.
[Outro]
C Em C Em C
If I could write a letter to me, to me
