[A] If I could write a letter to [E] me.
And [A] send it back in time to [E] myself at 17.
[A] First [D] I'd prove it's me by saying.
[A] Look under your bed.
There's [Bm] a skull can and a playboy.
No [A] one else would know [E] you.
And [A] then I'd say I know it's tough.
[E] When [A] you break up after seven months.
And yeah, [D] I know you really liked her and [A] it just don't seem fair.
But [Bm] all I can say is pain like that [A] is [E] fast and it's rare.
[A] You [E] got so [A] much going for you going right [D] but I know.
[A] At 17 [Bm] it's hard to see [A] past [E] Friday night.
[A] She [E] wasn't right for you.
[F#m] And still you feel [A] like there's a knife.
[D] Sticking out [A] of your back and [Bm] we're wondering [A] if you'll [E] survive.
[D] But you'll make [A] it through this and [Bm] you'll see.
[A] You're still [D] around to write [E] this letter to [A] me .
[E] [A] At the stop sign at Thomas and Nathan.
[E] [A] Always stop completely.
[E] Don't just tap [A] your brakes and when [D] you get a date [A] with Bridget make sure the tank is full.
[Bm] On second thought forget it that one [A] turns out [E] kind of cool.
[A] Each and every time you have [E] a fight.
Just [A] assume you're wrong and dad is [E] right.
And you [D] should really thank miss Franklin.
[A] She spent so much extra time.
It's [Bm] like she sees the diamond underneath and [A] she's polishing [E] you till [A] you shine.
[E] You got so [F#m] much going for you [A] going right [D] but I know.
[A] At 17 [Bm] it's hard to see [A] past [E] Friday [A] night.
Tonight's [E] the bonfire [F#m] rally, but you're [A] staying home instead.
[D] Because if you [A] fail out your brother [Bm] mom and [Am] dad, okay.
[E] Oh, yeah, [D] but trust me, you'll [A] squeak by and get [Bm] a seat.
And [A] you're [D] still around to write [E] this letter to [A] me.
You got so [E] much.
[A] .
[D] ahead.
You'll make [A] good friends.
He [D] should [C#m] see [E] your kids [A] and wife.
And I didn't buy say [E] you have no [F#m] fear.
[D] These are [A] nowhere [Bm] [A] near.
[G] Best [D] years of [A] your life.
[E] I guess [D] I'll see you in the mirror [A].
when you're a grown man.
[Bm] Yes, go hug ain't Rita.
[A] every [E] chance you can.
