Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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
