Intro: C G Em D (2x)  

C               G                   Em          D  
Everybody down in Houston calls him Texas   
C               G                              Em          D  
Everybody way up north calls him cornbread   
C                                   G                           
You should've heard the way that his mama called him "baby"   
Em                    D                                         C  
Daddy called him "boy", his friends called him "crazy"   


 C                   G                         Em          D  
Shoulda just called it like i saw it   
C                    G                                Em                         D  
Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day   
C                                         G  
The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat   
             Em                                       D                                      C  
and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me   
D                                        C  
I shoulda just called him "whiskey"   


C                                             G                         Em          D  
Warmed my body to the core just like a blanket   
C                                            G                           Em          D  
Tasted so sweet then you took my breath away   
C                                      G         
Hit me so hard like a rock through a window   
Em                                                                  D                 C  
i knew i was in trouble from the moment i met you, boy   



 C                   G                         Em          D  
Shoulda just called it like i saw it   
C                    G                                Em                         D  
Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day   
C                                         G  
The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat   
             Em                                       D                                      C  
and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me   
D                                        C  
I shoulda just called him "whiskey"   


C            
Now the numb set in   
G  
He's gone like the wind   
Em                             D  
and I can barely feel the pain   


 C                   G                         Em          D  
Shoulda just called it like i saw it   
C                    G                                Em                         D  
Shoulda just called for help and ran like hell that day   
C                                         G  
The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat   
             Em                                       D                                      C  
and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me   
D                                        C  
I shoulda just called him "whiskey"   


C                                         G  
The burn, and the sting, and the high, and the heat   
             Em                                       D                                      C  
and the left-me-wantin'-more feeling when he kissed me   
D                                        C  
I shoulda just called him "whiskey" (3x)
