                     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
