Chords for Chris Stapleton - What Are You Listening To? (Behind The Song)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Usually the hook is the chorus.
That's where the verse and you have the chorus.
And What Do You Listen To is not that kind of song.
The hook is the first line of the song and Chris's voice.
I put that record on, girl you know what song,
and you're waiting like, _ what's the next one?
_ I put that record [Cm] on, _ [Eb] girl you know what song,
[F] and I let it play again and [Bb] again.
[Cm] Mike Dungan had asked me to write more songs,
and he said he wanted a song with some story in it,
[Dm] you know, 2 bars in, and he goes, I love it.
I'm like, okay, great.
And here we are having interviews about a single
that we're about to put out, you know.
I keep a little badge in my medicine cabinet at home
where I [Cm] worked at Papa John's for a time.
_ [Dm]
Every time I open up my medicine cabinet,
I see it as a reminder that, you know,
I worked a lot of different things
to kind of [Bb] be doing what I'm doing now.
What are you listening [F] to? _
Is it [Gm] a couple bands
in some college town bar
[Eb] where it's not on the neck of [Bb] the guitar?
It was a [F] no-brainer, no-brainer.
[Gm]
I know great songs, I know great singers.
I mean, [Eb] every one of us in Nashville
has a female artist or a male artist that you go,
they're better [Dm] than anybody out there.
And so Chris has been around for a long [Eb] time
singing on demos, singing with the steel [Ab] drivers,
and you go, he's better than so-and-so and so-and-so.
Why isn't he famous?
[Bb] And I am just thrilled and honored
that [Cm] I got asked to do this.
I'm a lucky man.
Is [Bb] it a love song
_ [Eb] About someone new?
_ [F] _ _ What are you [Bb] listening to?
The great part about me working is,
it's what I would do for recreation.
Like, for years I would drive the truck
and [Cm] I would come home and play guitar,
or I would, you know, write songs.
I [Eb] have the great fortune of [F] doing something
that I really [Dm] love [Bb] for a living,
_ all aspects [F] of it.
I love it, I truly do.
Is it [Gm] a couple bands
In some college town bar
[Eb] Where it's not a nutmeg [Bb] time?
Or is it?
[F] There are artists and musicians
that intimidate [Gm] me because of their ability.
_ [Eb] And he's one of those people that,
he was [Cm] intimidating,
not because of his [Dm] attitude or anything like that,
it was just his [Bb] ability was so good
[Eb] I think he was born with [F] a gift
that few are born with.
What are you [Bb] listening to?
You know, I probably wanted to be a football player.
[F] I loved to play football [Gm] all through high school.
And then people ask me,
am [Eb] I a huge football fan now?
And I'm like, no, when I stopped playing,
[Cm] I kind of quit watching,
because I won't [Bb] play.
If I'm playing music, [Eb] I won't play music.
_ I want to [F] participate.
And so I guess maybe it [Bb] becomes
sort of a life philosophy,
and maybe some of that comes from playing sports.
I don't know.
[F] I prefer to play.
[Bb] I put that record [Cm] on
_ [Eb] Girl, you know what song
[F] And I let it play [Bb] again and again
I don't know that anyone could love their job more than I do.
But maybe somebody can. _ _ _
Thank you all.
