Intro
[C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
If it don't make ya [C] dance, [Csus4] it better make ya [C] think [Csus4]
If it don't get you [C] sober, [Csus4] it better make ya [C] drink [Csus4]
Yeah, it's what you [Am] drive to, cry to [F] make you feel alive to
[C] When you got nothing left to [F] lose
If they don't get you [C] laughin', or break your heart in [G] two
That's what a song should [C] do [F↓]
Chorus
It should make you go [Am] hell, yeah (hell yeah) [F] me, too (me too)
[C] Yeah, that's what a song should [G] do
It should make you feel [Am] alright (alright) [F] all night (all night)
[C] ...The four chords and the [G] truth, that's what a song should [C] do [Csus4]
It's that old [C] record, [Csus4] your daddy used to [C] play [Csus4]
It's that first [C] dance, [Csus4] on your weddin' [C] day [Csus4]
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, it should [Am] shape you, change you
[F] Break you down and break through
[C] Like you got nothing left to [F] prove
Worthy of [C] words on your tat- [G] too,
That's what a song should [C] do [Csus4]
Chorus
It should make you go [Am] hell, yeah (hell yeah) [F] me, too (me too)
[C] Yeah, that's what a song should [G] do
It should make you feel [Am] alright (alright) [F] all night (all night)
[C] ...The four chords and the [G] truth, yeah
It should be the [Am] soundtrack singing every moment of your life
The [F] beat that'll keep the party going 'til the sunrise
[C] Can't help but sing along [G] to
It should make you go [Am] hell, yeah, oh me, [F↓] too
That's what a song should [C] do, [Csus4] oh, yeah
(Whoa- [Am] whoa - oh- oh- [F] oh)
That's what a song should [C] do
That's what a song should [G] do
(Whoa- [Am] whoa - oh- oh- [F] oh)
It should mean something to [C] you [G]
So what keeps it [C] going
[Csus4] What puts that flicker in your [C] flame
[Csus4] And when your candle [C] burns out
[Csus4] What song they gonna [C↓] play, what song they gonna [NC] play
Chorus
It should make you go [Am] hell, yeah (hell yeah) [F] me, too (me too)
[C] Yeah, that's what a song should [G] do
It should make you feel [Am] alright (alright) [F] all night (all night)
[C] ...The four chords and the [G] truth, yeah
It should be the [Am] soundtrack singing every moment of your life
The [F] beat that'll keep the party going 'til the sunrise
[C] Can't help but sing along [G] to
It should make you go [Am↓] hell, yeah, oh me, [F↓] too
That's what a song should [C↓] do
