Verse 1:
    D
I'd go out on the front porch
 A        D
Around 4:45
Bm
His glove on my left hand
  G
A Baseball in my right
D

He'd pull down the driveway
D
Still in his work clothes
G
Wouldn't even walk inside
G
He'd just say "buddy let's go"
    Em7       D/F#                 C
And I thought we were just playin' catch


Chorus:
                   D
But he was playin' catch out in the backyard
          A
Trying to catch up for a while
        Em7                 D/F#
Just to catch what I'd been doing
                G
Cause he'd been working all the time
      D
I was thinking about a fastball
       A                      F#7
He was thinking how fast time flies

I was just playin' catch


Verse 2:
     D
We'd stay out there til mom said
A
"Supper's gettin cold"
      Em7
Cause he knew that I'd grow up
       G
And be going going gone
D
He knew there'd be strike outs
    A
And curveballs I couldn't see
    Em7            D/F#             G
And lookin' back I think his way of teachin' me
