[Intro}
C F Am G
C F Am G

[Verse 1]
C                                    F
You said “I love you” to me
Am                                 G
I don’t know what that means
C                                 F
So frozen my feet
Am                                 G
People use it so carelessly
C                                 F
And I couldn’t believe
Am                                 G
That you would dive in so deep
C                                 F
And you said perfectly
Am                                 G
Everything I’ve been feeling about…

[Pre-Chorus]
F
…you
C                 G                                 Am
It’s time to break the chains that
F                                 C                                 G
held me back from you (So come on and)

[Chorus]
Am                                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                                 G
Heart tonight
Am                                 F
No, I literally don’t mind
C                                 G
Just please don’t misplace it
Am                                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight
C                                 F
No, baby be mine now
C                                 G
Baby, be mine now
C                                 F
Maybe it’s time we
C                                                 G
put our hearts in a parallel line

C F Am G
C F Am G

[Verse 2]
C                                 F
I was never the type
Am                 G
To put it all on the line
C                                                 F
But I’ve been changing my mind
Am                                 G
since you opened my eyes
C                                 F
It was the way that the light
Am                                                 G
Picked you out of that night
C                                                 F
Then you were right by my side
Am                                 G
Put a soul in my body

[Pre-Chorus]
F                                 C
(and now) it’s time
G                                 Am
to close the space
F                                 C                 G
between the two of us (So come on and)

[Chorus]
Am                                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight
Am                                 F
No, I literally don’t mind
C                                 G
Just please don’t misplace it
Am                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight
C                                 F
No, baby be mine now
C                 G
Baby, be mine now
C                                 F
Maybe it’s time we
C G
put our hearts in a parallel line

[Bridge]

Am F C G

Am    F     C    G
Oh, baby it’s time
Am F C G
Oh, it’s time
Am F C G

[Chorus – played softer]
Am                                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight
Am                                 F
No, I literally don’t mind
C                                 G
Just please don’t misplace it
Am                                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight…

C                                 F
No, baby be mine now
C                 G
Baby, be mine now

[Chorus]
Am                                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight
Am                                 F
No, I literally don’t mind
C                                 G
Just please don’t misplace it
Am                 F
Take a little bit of my
C                 G
Heart tonight
C                                 F
No, baby be mine now
C                 G
Baby, be mine now
C                                 F
Maybe it’s time we
C                                                 G
put our hearts in a parallel line

[Outro]
C                 F
And put our…
Am                                 G
hearts in a parallel line
C                 F
put our…
Am G (Finish on C)
hearts in a parallel line.

How to play Parallel Line: key, chords and progression

Parallel Line by Keith Urban sits in C major (no sharps or flats), and you need 4 chords to play it: C, F, Am and G.

Most of the song cycles through F – C – G – Am (IV – I – V – vi in C major), a rotation of the four-chord pop progression that starts on the IV chord. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
