Letter To Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
If [G]I could write a letter to m[D]e
And [G]send it back in time
to my[D]self at seventeen
First, I'd [C]prove it's me by sayin'
[G]look under your bed
There's a [Am]Skoal can and a Playboy
no one [D]else would know you hid
And [G]then I'd say I know it's [D]tough
When you [G]break up after seven [D]months
And yeah, I [C]know you really liked her
and [G]it just don't seem fair
But all [Am]I can say is pain like that
is [D]fast and it's rare

[Chorus 1]
And, [G]oh, you [D]got so much
[Em]goin' for you, [G]goin' right
But [C]I know at s[G]eventeen
it's [Am]hard to see past [D]Friday night
[G]She wasn't rig[D]ht for you
and [Em]still you feel like [G]there's a knife
[C]Stickin' out of [G]your back
and you're [Am]wonderin' if [D]you'll survive
But [C]you'll make it [G]through this and you'll [Am]see
You're [G]still [C]around
to write this [D]letter to [G]me[D]

[Verse 2]
At the [G]stop sign at Tomlinson and [D]Eighth
[G]Always stop completely,
well, [D]don't just tap your brakes
And when you [C]get a date with Bridgett,
make [G]sure the tank is full
On [Am]second thought, forget it,
that one [D]turns out kinda cool
[G]Each and every time you have a fig[D]ht
Just as[G]sume you're wrong and Dad is [D]right
And you should [C]really thank Ms. Brinkman,
she spends [G]so much extra time
It's like she [Am]sees the diamond underneath
and she's [D]polishin' you 'til you shine

[Chorus 2]
And, [G]oh, you [D]got so much
[Em]goin' for you, [G]goin' right
But [C]I know at s[G]eventeen
it's [Am]hard to see past [D]Friday night
[G]Tonight's the bon[D]fire rally,
[Em]but you're stayin' home [G]instead
Be[C]cause if you fail [G]Algebra,
[Am]Mom and Dad'll k[D]ill you dead
But [C]trust me, you'll squeak [G]by and get a [Am]C
And you're [G]still a[C]round
to write this [D]letter to [G]me

[Bridge 1]
Well, you got so much [D]up a[G]head
and you'll [C]make new [G]friends
You should [C]see [G]your [D]kids and [G]wife
And I'd end by sayin' [D]have no [Em]fear
These are [C]no [G]where [Am]near [G]the
[F]best years [C]of your [D]life
I guess I'll [C]see you in the mirror
when [G]you're a grown man
P.[Am]S. go hug Aunt Rita ev[D]ery chance you can

[Chorus 3]
And, [G]oh, you [D]got so much
[Em]goin' for you, [G]goin' right
But [C]I know at s[G]eventeen
it's [Am]hard to see past [D]Friday night
[G]I wish you'd stu[D]dy Spanish,
I [Em]wish you'd take a [G]typin' class
I [C]wish you wouldn't [G]worry, let it [Am]be
Hey, I'd [G]say [C]have a little [G]faith
and you'll [Am]see[D]

[Outro 1]
If [G]I could write a letter to m[D]e
To [G]me[D][G]
