Used to spend my nights out in bar (Dm)rooms.

Liq uor was the on ly love I’d (C)known.

But you res cued me from reach in’ for the bot (Dm)tom

and brought me back

from be in’ too far gone.

You’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

you’re as sweet

as straw ber ry wine.

You’re as warm

as a glass of (Dm)bran dy,

and, hon ey, I stay stoned

on your love all the (C)time.

I’ve looked for love in all the same old (Dm)plac es.

Found the bot tom of a bot tle’s al ways dry.

But when you poured out your heart, I did n’t waste (Dm)it,

’cause there’s noth in’

like your love to get me high.

Yeah, and you’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

you’re as sweet

as straw ber ry wine.

You’re as warm

as a glass of (Dm)bran dy,

and, hon ey, I stay stoned

on your love all the (C)time.

You’re as (C)time.

You’re as smooth

Ten nes see whis key,

Ten nes see whis (C)key.

You’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

Ten nes see whis key,

Ten nes see whis (C)key.

You’re as (C)key.
