                     G  
For the longest time, I guess I thought he didn't give a damn
D                                                                                            Bm                                    A  
Hard to read, hard to please, yeah, that was my old man
                  G  
On the day I left for college, it was nothing new
        Gm                                                                                    A  
We never had that heart-to-heart, he had too much to do
Chorus
                                        Bm                                                 G  
He checked the air in my tires, the belts and all the spark plug wires
                D                                                    Em                                 G                                                      A  
Said, "When the hell's the last time, you had this oil changed"
                  Bm                                                                                            G  
And as I pulled out the drive, he said, "Be sure and call your mom sometime"
                D                                                                                         A  
And I didn't hear it then, but I hear it now
                                        Em              F#m  G  
He was sayin', "I love you"
                        A                            G                Gm     A  
The only way he knew how
     G  
A hundred twenty thousand miles, six years down the road
     D                                                                                                            Bm                                                    A  
A brand new life and a brand new wife, we'd just bought our first home
                     G  
When he finally came to visit, I thought he'd be so proud
        Gm                                                                                                 A  
He never said he liked the place, he just got his tool belt out
Chorus
                                Bm                                                                                    G  
And put new locks on the doors, went back and forth to the hardware store
                D                                                 Em                                            G                                                              A  
Said, "Come and hold this flashlight," as he crawled beneath the sink
                                        Bm                                                                                    G  
And "These old wires ain't up to code" and "That circuit box is gonna overload"
                D                                                                                         A  
And I didn't hear it then, but I 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                                                 G  
He checked the air in my tires, the belts and all the spark plug wires
                D                                                    Em                                 G                                                      A  
Said, "When the hell's the last time, you had this oil changed"
                  Bm                                                                                            G  
And as I pulled out the drive, he said, "Be sure and call your mom sometime"
                D                                                                                         A  
And I didn't hear it then, but I hear it now
                                        Em              F#m  G  
He was sayin', "I love you"
Tag
                                        Em              F#m  G  
He was sayin', "I love you"
                        A                            G  
The only way he knew how
