[Verse]
A D A
Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
A D E
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
D E
Now the haze has lifted I can see
A E A
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be
A
I started slow and steady
D A
I went from cola to a beer
I made a resolution:
D E
From the liquor I'd steer clear
D
When I saw you there
E
Somethin' inside of me switched off
A E
And when I switched to the whiskey
A
Then I knew that I was gone
[Verse]
A D A
'Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
A D E
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
D E
Now the haze has lifted I can see
A E A
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be
A
"Sweets for a sweetheart."
D A
That is what you said to me
As you handed me a shot glass
D E
And drank down hungrily
D
I was lost in dreams of sweet things
E
Runnin' through my head
A E
If it wasn't for the whiskey
A
Well, I'd have run away instead
[Verse]
D A
'Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
D E
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
D E
Now the haze has lifted I can see
A E A
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be
A E A
Oh yeas, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever be to me
