  			  I think with these chords it should be played with a chapo on the 2nd fret 

Intro: G Gmaj7 G Gmaj7   

G                            Gmaj7   
If I could write a letter to me   
    G                       Gmaj7    
And send it back in time to myself at 17    
          C                      G/B   
First I'd prove its 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                            Gmaj7   
And then I'd say I know it's tough   
         G                    Gmaj7   
When you break up after seven months    
      C                             G/B   
Yea 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   
    
    G      D/F#        Em           G   
And Oh you got so much going for you going right    
    C         G/B    Am               D   
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night    
G          D/F#              Em            
She wasn't right for you and still you feel like    
G               C               G/B   
There's a knife sticking out of your back    
           Am          D   
And you're wonderin if you'll survive    
    C              G/B                    Am   
But you'll make it through this and you'll see   
             C                    D         G   
You're still around to write this letter to me   
    
       G                          Gmaj7   
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th   
G                      Gmaj7   
Always stop completely don't just tap your brakes    
             C                    
And when you get a date with Bridgette     
     G/B   
Make sure the tank is full    
   Am                                D   
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool    
G                              Gmaj7   
Each and every time you have a fight    
     G                              Gmaj7   
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right    
               C   
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman    
          G/B   
She spent so much extra time    
          Am                
It's like she sees the diamond underneath    
          D   
And she's polishing you til you shine   
    
    G      D/F#        Em           G   
And Oh you got so much going for you going right    
    C         G/B    Am               D   
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night    
G            D/F#       
Tonights the bonfire rally    
Em                G   
But you're staying home instead    
  C                 G/B    Am               D   
Because if you fail algebra mom and dad will kill you dead    
    C                      G/B         Am   
But trust me you'll squeak by and get a "C"    
                 C                    D         G   
And you're still around to write this letter to me   
    
C   G/B Am G    D   G   
You got  so much up ahead    
       C        G   
You'll make new friends    
           C   G/B D        G   
You should see your kids and wife    
        C   G/B Am G   D          
And I'd end by   saying have no fear    
          C  G/B Am   G   F          C/E    D   
These are nowhere near the best years of your life   
    
             C   
I guess I'll see you in the mirror    
     G/B   
When you're a grown man    
  Am                  D   
P.S. go hug aunt Rita every chance you can   
    
    G      D/F#        Em           G   
And Oh you got so much going for you going right    
    C         G/B    Am               D   
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night    
G            D/F#     
I wish you'd study Spanish    
  Em               G   
I wish you'd take a typing class    
  C                 G/B             Am   
I wish you wouldn't worry and let it be    
        C             G/B             Am      D   
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see   
   G                         Gmaj7   
If I could write a letter to me   
   G   
To me
