verse
D G D
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
D A
Liquor was the only love I've known
D G
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
G D A D
And brought me back from being too far gone
D G D
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
D A
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
A 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

I've looked for love in all the same old places

Found the bottom of a bottle always dry

But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it

'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
E A E
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

You're as sweet as strawberry wine

You're as warm as a glass of brandy

And I stay stoned on your love all the time

And I stay stoned on your love all the time
