Text

G Am

Used to spend my nights at a barroom

C G C G

Liquor was the only love I've known

G Am

But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom

C D G C G

And brought me back from being too far gone

Chorus:

G Am

You're as smooth, as Tennessee whiskey

C G C G

You're as sweet as strawberry wine

G Am

You're as warm as a glass of brandy

C D G C G

And honey I stay stoned on your love all the time

G Am

I’ve looked for love in all the same old places

C G C G

Found the bottom of the bottle's always dry

G Am

But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it

C D G

Cause there nothing like your love to get me high. (Chorus)

(Instrumental) G Am C G C G G Am C D G C G

(Final Chorus)
