Biography:
Brad Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American country music singer and songwriter from Glen Dale, West Virginia.
Brad Paisley has stated that his love of country music stems from his maternal grandfather, who gave Paisley his first guitar at age 8 and taught him how to play. At age 12, Paisley wrote his first song, and by 13 he was the opening act for country singers.
Paisley graduated from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and enrolled at Belmont University (from 1993 to 1995).

Letter to Me

Intro
A E/A A E/A A E/A
Verse 1
A E/A A E/A
If I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself at 17
D A
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
Bm E
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
A E/A A E/A
And then I'd say I know it's tough when you break up after seven months
D A/C#
And yeah, I know you really liked her, and it just don't seem fair
Bm E
All I can say is pain like that is fast, and it's rare.
Chorus 1
A E/G# F#m A
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
D A Bm E
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G#
She wasn't right for you
F#m A D A
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
Bm E
And you're wondering if you'll survive
D A Bm
You'll make it through this and you'll see
A D E A E/A
You're still around to write this letter to me.
Verse 2
A E/A A
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth always stop completely
E/A
Don't just tap your brakes
D A/C#
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
Bm E
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
A E/A
Each and every time you have a fight
A E/A
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
D A
And you should really thank Ms. Brinkman she spent so much extra time
Bm
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
E
And she's polishin’ you 'til you shine
Chorus 2
A E/G# F#m A
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
D A Bm E
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G# F#m A
Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead
D A Bm E
Because if you fail algebra, mom and dad’ll kill you dead
D A Bm
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
A D E A
And you're still around to write this letter to me
A E A
You've got so much up ahead
D A D A/C# E A
You'll make new friends, you should see your kids and wife
Verse 3
A E F#m
And I'd end by saying have no fear
D A/C# Bm A G D E
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
D
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
A/C#
When you're a grown man
Bm E
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can
Chorus 3
A E/G# F#m A
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
D A Bm E
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
A E/G#
I wish you'd study Spanish
F#m A
I wish you'd take a typing class
D A Bm
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
A D A/C# Bm E
Hey, I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see
A E/A A E/A A
If I could write a letter to me, to me...
