Letter To My 13 Year Old Self

[G] [G7] [C] [Cm]

 

[G]...Don't you [G7]worry 'bout your [C]curly hair...[Cm]

[G]...Clothes that [G7]don't quite fit you [C]anywhere...[Cm]

[Am7]...Voices [D]echo in the [G]gym

Another [C]girl's had her first [Am7]kiss

Please, don't [D]think too much of [G]it, [Am7]dar...[D]ling

 

[G]...I'm so [G7]sorry that they [C]pick you last...[Cm]

[G]...Try to [G7]say your foreign [C]name and laugh...[Cm]

[Am7]I [D]know that you feel [G]loud, so [C]different from the [Am7]crowd

Of [D]big blue eyes, and long [G]blonde hair, and [G7]boys that stare

But, [Am7]baby, [D]know that

 

[G]...You'll [G7]grow up

And [C]grow so [Cm]tough and charm them

[G]...Write your [G7]sto...[C]ry, fall in [Cm]love a little too [F#m7b5]

The [B7]things you thought you'd [Em]never do

I [E7]wish I could go back and [Am7]give her a squeeze

 

And [Cm]just let her know, [D]know that she's [G]beautiful

 

[G] [G7] [C] [Cm]

 

[G]...Keep on [G7]going with your [C]silly dream...[Cm]

[G]...Life is [G7]prettier than [C]it may seem...[Cm]

[Am7]...One day, [D]you'll be up on [G]stage

Little [C]girls will scream your [Am7]name

The [D]days of tears and [G]failure fears

And [G7]no one cares, will [Am7]all make [D]sense, 'cause

 

[G]...You'll [G7]grow up

And [C]grow so [Cm]tough and charm them

[G]...Write your [G7]sto...[C]ry, fall in [Cm]love a little too [F#m7b5]

The [B7]things you thought you'd [Em]never do

I [E7]wish I could go back and [Am7]give her a squeeze

 

And [Cm]just let her know, [D]know that she's [G]beautiful

 

[G] [G7] [C] [Cm]ooh[G]
