Hey Billboard, it's Keith Urban here.
These are five [F#] things you didn't know about my new song,
[A] Straight Line.

_ _ [F] _ [Em] This song was originally recorded with [G] just drum machine and no real drums and we
finished [E] out the whole song and for whatever reason we just felt like [D] it was [A] linear and not
going anywhere and so we decided to put real [B] drums on it and when we did it changed the whole thing
[D#] in a big way so shout out to all the real [E] drums.

Nashville but I wasn't [E] happy with it.
Went back to California where Greg Wells has a studio,
did another vocal out there, [A] did some backing vocals out there.
Came back to Nashville,

did another [B] vocal.
Did about five [F#] passes on the lead vocal on this song to make it sound like
