[G]Used to spend my nights [G]out in a bar room
[G]Liquor was the [G]only love I've known
[C]But you rescued me [D]from reachin' for the bottom
[G]And brought me back [C]from being too far gone
[G]You're as smooth
[D]As Tennessee whiskey
[C]You're as sweet
[D]As strawberry wine
[D]You're as warm
[C]As a [G]glass of brandy
[D]And honey, I stay [G]stoned on your love
[G]All the time
[G]I've looked for love in [C]all the same old places
[D]Found the bottom of [G]the bottles always dry
[D]But when you poured out [G]your heart I didn't waste it
[C]'Cause there's nothing like your [D]love to get me high
[G]You're as smooth
[D]As Tennessee whiskey
[C]You're as sweet
[D]As strawberry wine
[D]You're as warm
[C]As a [G]glass of brandy
[D]And honey, I stay [G]stoned on your love
[G]All the time
[G]You're as smooth
[D]As Tennessee whiskey
[C]You're as sweet
[D]As strawberry wine
[D]You're as warm
