[Verse]
        G
For the longest time, I guess I 
thought he didn't give a damn
D                                 
Hard to read, hard to please, 
  Bm              A
yeah, that was my old man
       G
On the day I left for college, it 
was nothing new
   Gm                              
We never had that heart-to-heart, 
  A
he had too much to do

[Chorus]
               Bm                  
He checked the air in my tires, the
 G
 belts and all the spark plug wires
      D                    Em 
Said, "When the hell's the last 
            G                     A
time, you had this oil changed"
       Bm                        
And as I pulled out the drive, he 
           G
said, "Be sure and call your mom 
sometime"
      D                         
And I didn't hear it then, but I 
         A
hear it now
               Em      F#m G
He was sayin', "I love you"
         A           G     G G G
The only way he knew how | | | |

  G
A hundred twenty thousand miles, six
 years down the road
  D                             
A brand new life and a brand new 
            Bm                  
wife, we'd just bought our first 
  A
home
        G
When he finally came to visit, I 
thought he'd be so proud
   Gm                              
He never said he liked the place, 
       A
he just got his tool belt out

[Chorus]
            Bm                     
And put new locks on the doors, 
           G
went back and forth to the hardware 
store
      D                  
Said, "Come and hold this 
 Em                 G             
flashlight," as he crawled beneath
           A
 the sink
               Bm               
And "These old wires ain't up to 
                 G
code" and "That circuit box is gonna
 overload"
      D                         
And I didn't hear it then, but I 
         A
hear it now
               Em      F#m G
He was sayin', "I love you"
         A           D
The only way he knew how

     F
Last Sunday, we all gathered for his
 sixty fifth birthday
C
And I knew he'd stiffen up, but I 
hugged him anyway
            F
When it was finally time to say 
goodbye, I knew what was next
Em                        A
Just like he always does, right 
before we left

[Chorus]
               Bm                  
He checked the air in my tires, the
 G
 belts and all the spark plug wires
      D                    Em 
Said, "When the hell's the last 
            G                     A
time, you had this oil changed"
       Bm                        
And as I pulled out the drive, he 
           G
said, "Be sure and call your mom 
sometime"
      D                         
And I didn't hear it then, but I 
         A
hear it now
               Em      F#m G
He was sayin', "I love you"
