G C G
I used to spend my nights in a barroom
D7
Liquor was the only friend I knew
G C G
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
D7 G
And you brought me back from being too far gone
G C G
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey
D7
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
G G7 C
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
G D7 G
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
G C G
I looked for love in all the wrong places
D7
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry
G C G
But when you poured out your love I didn't waste it
D7 G
Cause there nothing like your love to get me high
G C G
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey
D7
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
G G7 C
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
G D7 G
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
