(Verse)
Hey there, (G)Son, it's Dad a-(C)gain
I know you're (D)busy, I'm just (G)checking in
Just call me (G)later, if you get a (C)chance
I don't want (D)nothing, I was just wondering how (G) you been

(Chorus)
There's no telling (G)how many times
I've (D/F#)let that message play
(Em)He's been gone a (D)while
But it still feels (C) like yesterday 
(D)I even call (G) him back sometimes
Wishing he’d (D/F#) pick up again
And I got a lot more (Em) to say these days (D)
Then I did back then (C)
Hey Dad, it's me, checking in

(Verse)
I'm doing al-(G)right
Works been a little (C)hard
But don't (D)worry, I told Mom
I'd be by to (G)cut the yard
These kids are (G)good
Yeah, you'd sure be (C/G) proud
I (G)probably should let you go
I'm just (C)missing you right now

(Chorus)
There's no telling (G)how many times
I've (D/F#)let that message play
(Em)He's been gone a (D)while
But it still (C)feels like yesterday
(D)I even (G)call him back sometimes
Wishing (E/F#)he’d pick up again
I got a lot (Em)more to say these (D)days
Then I did back (C)then
Hey, Dad, it's me, checking in (Am) (G)
Woh, oh, oh, (D/F#)oh
I'm just checking in |(Am) / (G) / |(D/F#) / (Em)(D)|

There's no telling (G)how many times
I'd (D/F#)let that message play

But it still (C)feels like yesterday
I even (G)call him back sometimes
Wishing (D/F#)he’d pick up again
I got a lot (Em)more to say these (D)days
Then I did back (C)then
Yeah, I got a lot (Am)more to say these (G/B)days
Then I did back (C)then
