If I could write a letter [E] to me, [A] and send it back in time to [E] myself at seventeen, [A] first I'd prove it's [D] me by saying, look under your bed, [Bm] there's a Skullcan and a Playboy, [E] no one else would know you here.
[A] And then I'd say I know it's tough, [E] when you break up after seven months, and [D] yeah I know you [A] really liked her, and it just don't seem fair, [Bm] but all I can say is pain like [E] that is fast, and it's rare, [A]
and oh, [E] you got so [F#m] much going [A] for you, going [D] right,
but I know [A] at seventeen [Bm] it's hard to see past Friday [A] night, she [E] wasn't right for [F#m] you, and still you [A] feel like there's a [D] knife sticking [A] out of your back, [Bm] and you're wondering [A] if you'll survive, [D] but you'll [A] make it through this [Bm] and you'll see, you're [D] still around to [E] write this letter [A] to me.
At [E]
[A] the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th, always stop completely, don't just tap your brakes, and [D] when you get a date [A] with Bridget, make sure the tank is full, [Bm] on second thought forget it, that [A] one turns out [E] kinda cool.
[A] Each and every time you [E] have a fight, [A] just assume you're wrong and daddy's right, and you [D] should really thank Miss [A] Brinkman, she spends so much extra time, [Bm] it's like she sees a diamond underneath, [E] and she's polishing you till you [A] shine, oh, [E] you got so [F#m] much going for [A] you, going right,
[D] but I know [A] at seventeen [Bm] it's hard to see [E] past Friday [A] night, [E] tonight's the bonfire [F#m] rally, but you're [A] staying home instead, [D] because if you [A] fail I'll be broke, [Bm]
mom and [E] dad will kill you [D] dead, but trust me you'll [A] squeak by and get [Bm] a C, and you're [D] still around to write [E] this letter to [A] me.
You got so [E] much up [A] ahead, [D] you're making [A] good friends, you [D] should see [E] your kids [A] and wife, and I didn't buy saying [E] have no [F#m] fear, [D] these are nowhere near [G] the best [D] years of [E] your life.
I guess [A] I'll see you in the mirror, [A] when you're a grown man, [Bm] P.S. go hug Aunt Rita, [A] every [E] chance you can, [A] oh, [G#m] you got so [E] much going [A] for you, going [D] right, but I know at seventeen [Bm] it's hard to see past Friday [A] night,
I [E] wish you'd study [F#m] Spanish, I wish you'd [A] take a time in [D] class, I wish you [A] wouldn't worry, [Bm] let it be, [D] I'd say have a [A] little faith, and [Bm] you'll see, [E] if [A] I could write a letter to me.
