A E/A
If I could write a letter to me
A E/A
and send it back in time to myself at seventeen
D
first I'd prove it's me by sayin'
A/Db Bm7
look under your bed, there's a Skoal can and a Playboy
Esus4 E
no one else would know you hid
A E/A
and then I'd say I know it's tough
A E/A
when you break up after 7 months
D
and yeah I know you really liked her
A/Db
and it just don't seem fair
Bm7 Esus4 E
but all I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
A E/Ab F#m
and oh you got so much goin' for you
A A/Db
goin' right
D A/Db
but I know at 17
Bm7 Esus4 E
it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/Ab
she wasn't right for you
F#m7 A
and still you feel like there's
A/Db D A/Db
a knife stickin' out of your back
Bm7 Esus4 E
and you're wonderin' if you'll survive
D A/Db Bm7
but you'll make it through this and you'll see
A/Db D E A
you're still around to write this letter to me
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brad_paisley/letter_to_me_tab.html ]
E/A
A E/A
at the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th
A E/A
always stop completely, don't just tap your brakes
D
and when you get a date with Bridgette
A/Db
make sure the tank is full
Bm7 Esus4 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 daddy's right.
D
and you should really thank Miss Brinkman
A/Db
she spent so much extra time
Bm7
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
Esus4 E
and she's polishin' you 'til you shine.
A E/Ab F#m
and oh you got so much goin' for you
A A/Db
goin' right
D A/Db
but I know at 17
Bm7 Esus4 E
it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/Ab
tonight's the bonfire rally
F#m A A/Db
but you're staying home instead
D A/Db
because if you fail algebra
Bm7 Esus4 E
mom and dad'll kill you dead
D A/Db Bm7
trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
A/Db D E A
and you're still around to write this letter to me
E A
you got so much up ahead
D A
you'll make new friends
D A/Db E A
you should see your kids and wife
E F#m
and I'd end by sayin' have no fear
D A/Db Bm7
these are no-where near
A G D/F# Esus4 E
the best years of your life
D
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
A/Db
when you're a grown man
Bm7 Esus7 E
p.s. go hug aunt Rita every chance you can
A E/Ab F#m
and oh you got so much goin' for you
A A/Db
goin' right
D A/Db
but I know at 17
Bm7 Esus4 E
it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/Ab
I wish you'd study Spanish
F#m A A/Db
I wish you'd take a typing class
D A/Db Bm7
I wish you wouldn't worry let it be
A/Db D A/Db Bm7 E
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
A E/A
if I could write a letter to me
A E/A A
to me...
