The story behind the song – Guus Mulder
F
You might sing along
Fsus4 F
With your lighter up in the air
With the radio on at the top of your lungs
C
With the wind in your hair
F
You might know it by heart, every word
A#
And cry every time it comes on
F
But you don’t know how it feels
C F
To be the story behind the song
Chorus:
Dm
It ain’t a slow dance
A# F
It ain’t just three chords in a rhyme
Dm A# Csus4 C
Or just a number one request on a midnight DJ line
Dm
It’s just a dollar in a jukebox
A# F A#
Heaven knows it caused, so much more
C F
When you’re the story behind the song
F
It’s lying awake
Fsus4 F
On the lonely side of the bed
It’s being the one who’s got to stay strong
C
On the sober side of wasted
F
If you‘ve given your love
To the kind of someone
A#
Who don’t know what they got till it’s gone
F
You might know how it feels
C F
To be the story behind the song.
Dm
It ain’t a slow dance
A# F
It ain’t just three chords in a rhyme
Dm A# Csus4 C
Or just a number one request on a midnight DJ line
Dm
It’s just a dollar in a jukebox
A# F A#
Heaven knows it caused, so much more
C F
When you’re the story behind the song
Intermezzo: Dm A# F 2x
Dm
It ain’t a slow dance
A# F
It ain’t just three chords in a rhyme
Dm A# Csus4 C
Or just a number one request on a midnight DJ line
Dm
It’s just a dollar in a jukebox
A# F A#
Heaven knows it caused, so much more
C F
When you’re the story behind the song
A# C F
When you’re the story behind the song
