[Verse]

D G

I used to spend my nights out

In a bar room

G D A

Liquor was the only love I'd known

D G D

But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom

D G D A D

Brought me back from being too far gone

[Chorus]

D G D

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

D A

You're as sweet as strawberry wine

D G

You're as warm as a glass of Brandy

G D A D

And I stay stoned on your love all the time

[Verse]

I looked for love

G D

In all the same old places

D G D

Found the bottom of the bottle's

Always dry

D G

But when you poured out your heart

I didn't waste it

D G D

Cause there's nothing like your love

A D

To get me high

[Chorus]

D G D

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

D A

You're as sweet as strawberry wine

D G

You're as warm as a glass of Brandy

G D A D

And I stay stoned on your love all the time
