G Em
I hope this letter finds you
A D
Wherever you may be
G Em
'Cause I mailed some a while back
A D
And they were all returned to me
Em A
There ain't nothing, I can tell you about the hometown
Em A
Everything changes but nothing's new
D G Em
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
A D
Finishing a beer and thinking of you
Chorus:
G A
(2nd - But 3rd - And) I still work the same job
G A
Still live with my mom for free
F#m G Em
Ever since the old man passed on
A D G Em A D
It just got harder to leave
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 G Em
You kept saying, maybe we should turn around
A D
And I said, it don't take much to get away
Repeat Chorus / Break ( Em A Em A F#m G Em A D )
D G Em
I guess that's all that I, got to tell you
A D
Guess things turned out like they're meant to be
D G Em
I just hope that this letter finds you
A D
But until then, I'll just keep it with me
Repeat Chorus
My Intro: (it''s how I play it - listen to the song for the timing)
