Intro: G Gmaj7 G Gmaj7  

Capo II

G                            Gmaj7  
If I could write a letter to me  
    G                       Gmaj7   
And send it back in time to myself at 17   
          C                      G/B  
First I''d prove its me by saying look under your bed   
          Am                             D  
There''s a skoal can and a playboy no one else would know you hid   
G                            Gmaj7  
And then I''d say I know it''s tough  
         G                    Gmaj7  
When you break up after seven months   
      C                             G/B  
Yea I know you really liked her and it just don''t seem fair   
    Am                             D  
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it''s rare  
   
    G      D/F#        Em           G  
And Oh you got so much going for you going right   
    C         G/B    Am               D  
But I know at 17 it''s hard to see past Friday night   
G          D/F#              Em           
She wasn''t right for you and still you feel like   
G               C               G/B  
There''s a knife sticking out of your back   
           Am          D  
And you''re wonderin if you''ll survive   
    C              G/B                    Am  
But you''ll make it through this and you''ll see  
             C                    D         G  
You''re still around to write this letter to me  
   
       G                          Gmaj7  
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th  
G                      Gmaj7  
Always stop completely don''t just tap your brakes   
             C                   
And when you get a date with Bridgette    
     G/B  
Make sure the tank is full   
   Am                                D  
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool   
G                              Gmaj7  
Each and every time you have a fight   
     G                              Gmaj7  
Just assume you''re wrong and dad is right   
               C  
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman   
          G/B  
She spent so much extra time   
          Am               
It''s like she sees the diamond underneath   
          D  
And she''s polishing you til you shine  
   
    G      D/F#        Em           G  
And Oh you got so much going for you going right   
    C         G/B    Am               D  
But I know at 17 it''s hard to see past Friday night   
G            D/F#      
Tonights the bonfire rally   
Em                G  
But you''re staying home instead   
  C                 G/B    Am               D  
Because if you fail algebra mom and dad will kill you dead   
    C                      G/B         Am  
But trust me you''ll squeak by and get a C   
                 C                    D         G  
And you''re still around to write this letter to me  
   
C   G/B Am G    D   G  
You got  so much up ahead   
       C        G  
You''ll make new friends   
           C   G/B D        G  
You should see your kids and wife   
        C   G/B Am G   D         
And I''d end by   saying have no fear   
          C  G/B Am   G   F          C/E    D  
These are nowhere near the best years of your life  
   
             C  
I guess I''ll see you in the mirror   
     G/B  
When you''re a grown man   
  Am                  D  
P.S. go hug aunt Rita every chance you can  
   
    G      D/F#        Em           G  
And Oh you got so much going for you going right   
    C         G/B    Am               D  
But I know at 17 it''s hard to see past Friday night   
G            D/F#    
I wish you''d study Spanish   
  Em               G  
I wish you''d take a typing class   
  C                 G/B             Am  
I wish you wouldn''t worry and let it be   
        C             G/B             Am      D  
I''d say have a little faith and you''ll see  
   G                         Gmaj7  
If I could write a letter to me  
   G  
To me
