D
It was midnight at the edge of town
Me and the boys just hanging out
G
Radio up and the tailgate down
Yeah we were passing something around.

(Verse)
D
Then a right then, that old DJ
Spun a little gold that was custom made
G
Everybody hollering "Turn it up"
Holding up them Dixie cups

(Pre-Chorus)
Bm               A
Yeah I remember right about then
                G   G         G  G
I could feel a good time, a good time,
A good time kicking in

(Chorus)
D
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on the gasoline
                     G
Turning them caution lights green
                                             Bm
When you're 17 you never felt something that strong
        C#m D              A
And you can’t help but sing along
C#m D             G 
   Looking back on everything I've done I could do no wrong,
It all started with a song

D

(Verse)
D
She was drop dead, I was tongue tied
She was on the passenger side
G
Parked down by the river
But I couldn't make the move, I was so shy

(Pre-Chorus)
Bm                         A
Yeah that's a night I would never forget
             G G
Coming on the FM
G G
Her leaning in,
Leaning in for our first kiss

(Chorus)
D
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on the gasoline
                     G 
Turning them caution lights green
                                                         Bm
When you're young and free and never felt something that strong
        C#m D              A
And you can’t help but sing along
C#m D             G
   Looking back on everything I've done I could do no wrong,
                      Bm
It all started with a song

(Bridge)
C#m D                A
Every night when I'm standing in the spot light,
C#m D            G
Beating on these 6 strings all night,
Yeeah the story of my life
It all started with a song

|D|D|G|G|

(Chorus)
D
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on the gasoline
                     G
Turning them caution lights green
                                                         Bm
When you're young and free and never felt something that strong
        C#m D              A
And you can’t help but sing along
C#m D             G
   Looking back on everything I've done I could do no wrong,
                      D
It all started with a song
                      G
It all started with a song

D
It all started with a song
Flicking that match on gasoline
                     G
Turning them caution lights green
                               D (let it fade out)
Yeeaaah, it all started with a song
