How ya doin’ up there?
            G         Bm       D
I was just starin’ up at your stars
      Bm                D
Just wonderin’ how you are
                A
Hopin’ I could bend your ear


VERSE:
         D
No this ain’t about a girl
     Bm         D
Or a W for the home team
           Bm             D
It ain’t a get me out of this thing and
            A
I’ll go to church more kind of prayer

             Em7
Just how ya doin’ up there


CHORUS:
          G
I’m just checkin’ in
            Bm7
Checkin’ on how ya been
      A                               G
Just wanted you to know that I still care

   D               G
I know that you’re in control
     A       Bm
But man the devil’s been on a roll
        A
Heaven knows down here
                   G
It’s been one hell of a year

N.C.        D
But how ya doin’ up there?


VERSE:
             D
I know your hearts gotta break
               D
When you look down and see the hate
         A
All the worry and the fear
        Em7
In the faith that’s disappeared


CHORUS:
 D        G
I’m just checkin’ in
            Bm7
Checkin’ on how ya been
      A                               G
Just wanted you to know that I still care

   D               G
I know that you’re in control
     A        Bm
But man the devil’s been on a roll
        A
Heaven knows down here
                   G
It’s been one hell of a year

            D
But how ya doin’ up there?

But man the devil’s been on a roll
       A                            G
But a lot of us down here we still believe

             Bm            A             G  G
