Version 1Artist: Brad Paisley Song: Letter to me [Intro] G Bm G Bm G Bm [Verse 1] 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. [Verse 2] 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 2] 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. [Verse 3] 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. [Outro] G Bm G Bm G If I could write a letter to me, to me
