Brad Paisley


(intro) G, Bm, G, Bm, G, Bm


G              Bm     G          Bm
If I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself at 17

      C           Bm
First I'd prove it's 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             Bm       G          Bm
And then I'd say I know it's tough when you break up after seven months

       C                 Bm
And yeah, 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.

Chorus:

    G  Bm     Em       Em7
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right

   C    Em        Am       D
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night

G      Bm
She wasn't right for you

   Em         Em7       C          Em
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back

       Am         D
And you're wondering if you'll survive

       C     Em       Am
You'll make it through this and you'll see

        C          D    G     Bm
You're still around to write this letter to me.


G                  Bm
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth

G
Always stop completely



Bm
Don't just tap your brakes

       C
And when you get a date with Bridgett

    Bm
Make sure the tank is full

  Am
On second thought forget it

      D
That one turns out kinda cool

G                Bm
Each and every time you have a fight

    G              Bm
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right

         C
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman

      Bm
She spent so much extra time

   Am
It's like she's the diamond underneath

       D
And she's polishing you 'til you shine.

Chorus:

    G  Bm      Em       Em7
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right


    C   Em         Am      D
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night



  G         Bm         Em      Em7
Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead

    C       Em       Am         D
Because if you fail algebra, mom and dad will kill you dead

   C         Em     Am
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C


          C          D   G
And you're still around to write this letter to me.


G       D   G
You've got so much ahead

     C     G     C       Am    G
You'll make new friends, you should see your kids and wife


G           D   Em
And I'd end by saying have no fear

     C  Em  Am   F          D
These are nowhere near the best years of your life.

G
I guess I'll see you in the mirror

Bm
When you're a grown man

     G           D
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can.

Chorus:
    G  Bm      Em       Em7
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right

  C     Em    Am          D
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night

G          Bm
I wish you'd study Spanish

Em           Em7
I wish you'd take a typing class

C        Em       Am
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be

   C         Em        Am    D
I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see.


  G           Bm    G     Bm    G
If I could write a letter to me, to me...
