Intro
A E/A A E/A A E/A
Verse 1
A E/A A E/A
If I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself at 17
D A
First I'd prove it's 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 E/A A E/A
And then I'd say I know it's tough when you break up after seven months
D A/C#
And yeah, 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.
Chorus 1
A E/G# F#m A
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
D A Bm E
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G#
She wasn't right for you
F#m A D A
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
Bm E
And you're wondering if you'll survive
D A Bm
You'll make it through this and you'll see
A D E A E/A
You're still around to write this letter to me.
Verse 2
A E/A A
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth always stop completely
E/A
Don't just tap your brakes
D A/C#
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
Bm E
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
A E/A
Each and every time you have a fight
A E/A
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right

D A
And you should really thank Ms. Brinkman she spent so much extra time
Bm
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
E
And she's polishin’ you 'til you shine
Chorus 2
A E/G# F#m A
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
D A Bm E
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G# F#m A
Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead
D A Bm E
Because if you fail algebra, mom and dad’ll kill you dead
D A Bm
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
A D E A
And you're still around to write this letter to me
A E A
You've got so much up ahead
D A D A/C# E A
You'll make new friends, you should see your kids and wife
Verse 3
A E F#m
And I'd end by saying have no fear
D A/C# Bm A G D 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
Chorus 3
A E/G# F#m A
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
D A 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 Bm
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
A D A/C# Bm E
Hey, I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see
A E/A A E/A A
If I could write a letter to me, to me...
