(When the G goes to the Em walk the bass down G F# E
[D(Add] [A)] [Dsus4] [D] [D/F] [G] [Em] [A] [Asus4] [A] [D][Dsus4][D][Dsus2][D]
I hope this letter [G]finds you[Em]
[A] Wherever you may[D] be
'Cause I mailed some a[G] while back[Em]
And they were [A]all returned to [D]me
[Em] There ain't nothing, I can tell you about the [A]hometown
[Em] Everything changes but nothing'[A]s new
[D] Just Sunday night at the kitchen ta[G]ble[Em]
Finishing a [A]beer and thinking of[D] you
Chorus:
(2nd - But 3rd - And[G]) I still work the sam[A]e job
[G] Still live with my mom for[A] free
[F#m] Ever since the old ma[G]n passed on[Em]
It just got [A]harder to le[D]ave[G][Em][A][D]
Well, I heard a rumor, that you got married
Though you swore that you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
Do you ever tell 'em about the old neighborhood
Like the time we stole your dad's car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
[F#m] You kept saying, maybe we should [G]turn around[Em]
And I said, it don't take [A]much to get a[D]way
Repeat Chorus / Break ( Em A Em A F#m G Em A D )
[D] I guess that's all that I, got to [G]tell you[Em]
Guess things turned [A]out like they're meant to[D] be
[D] I just hope that this letter fi[G]nds you[Em]
But until th[A]en, I'll just keep it wit[D]h me
Repeat Chorus
My Intro: (it''s how I play it - listen to the song for the timing)
