Chords for Keith Urban - Parallel Line (Behind the Song)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] This song, [C] Parallel Line, is written [E] by Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco, Johnny [C] McDade, Julia
Michaels [F] and Amy Wadge.
[G] And I got sent it [C] and just [Am] loved it.
It felt like [G] home right away.
It's just such a beautiful, [G] [C] classic melody.

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [C] People always think, you know, you're a guitar player, you're supposed to [G] shred some sort
[F] of solo, but I'm always in [G] service of the song.
And the electric guitar line, which Ed [C] came up with, a really great [D] lick, and there's
times you just [G] don't need to reinvent the wheel.
And if [G] it's right, it's right.
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ That's all it is.
[C] He just makes everything his [G] from the second he touches it.
You know, it's like, it doesn't matter.
It could be like, oh, [C] this is a guitar part.
Then he plays it and all of a sudden you're like, oh, that's a Keith Urban guitar [G] part.
Like it's just like, [C] it just like feels a certain way the [G] second, the second his fingers,
his mouth, anything touches [C] a track, it just becomes [G] him.
Another thing I love about the song is that the solo is really just big stacked vocals. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And that's about as high as I can sing.
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] He's such, [G] he's so good at [Am] telling a story and, [F] and, [C] and, and [G] making you believe things
just right away.
It's like he could read the phone book and I'm like, well, you [F] know, if he sings it,
it's good.
[C] _ _
There's a lot of [Am] things that attracted me to the song lyrically.
There's a, there's [C] a real, um, [G] just honest vulnerability about this [C] song.
I love, take a little bit of [G] my heart tonight.
_ [C] No, I literally don't mind.
Just please don't misplace [G] it.
I mean, that kind of, [Em] that just everything in [C] that song spoke to me.
It's so simple, but there's a lot in it as far as why the [F] thing does that.
The sum is [C] greater than the parts very much.
[G] I mean, I don't have a specific definition on a song like this.
It's [C] just, it's how it all comes together and feels when it's a piece.
[G] And so after I'd [Am] sung, the track was already done, put a [C] little bass on it, electrics were done.
[G] Then it came together relatively quickly.
And again, [C] because the guys had just shaped a really great [G] track.
