  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

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...
