[First Verse]
Am
We used to meet up at the lockers
D G Em
Now we're lucky if we squeeze in a few drinks on the holidays
Am
Weekends, playing soccer
D G Em
Now my friends all moved away and they're too busy for pick-up games
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
And I know that the phone works both ways
G Em
But maybe I'm just scared to confront how we all changed
Am D
Had my head in the sand for so long where it felt safe
G Em
That I just saw the sun for the first time in days
[Chorus]
Am D
Just checking in, hey, how you been?
G Em
It's been too long, swear that I still exist
Am D
I missed your call, it's no one's fault
G Em
It was so much easier when we were kids
So, just checking in
Am | D | G | Em
(Just checking in)
Am | D | G
[Second Verse]
Em Am
Heard you're getting married next month
D G Em
I remember when you met her, and you told me she was the one
Am
So thank you for the invite
D G Em
But I couldn't get away from work and I can't afford a flight
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
And I know that the phone works both ways
G Em
But maybe I'm afraid that it won't be like the old days
Am D
Had my head in the sand for so long where it felt safe
G Em
But I just saw the sun for the first time in days
[Chorus]
Am D
Just checking in, hey, how you been?
G Em
It's been too long, swear that I still exist
Am D
I missed your call, it's no one's fault
G Em
It was so much easier when we were kids
So, just checking in
Am | D | G | Em
(Just checking in)
Am | D | G | Em
[Bridge]
G B
The pendulum swings and the distance it brings
Em B
Are you feeling it too, or is it just me?
G B Em
So I try to rewind to the place and the time where it all makes sense
D# Am
Tell me we're still friends
[Chorus]
N.C Am D
Just checking in, hey, how you been?
G Em
It's been too long, swear that I still exist
Am D
I missed your call, it's no one's fault
G Em
It was so much easier when we were kids
Just checking in
[Outro]
Am | D | G | Em
Just checking in
