[verse: 1]
|A                                 |Bm          |
   Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Bm                             |A          |    
 Liquor was the only love I’ve known
|A                                      |Bm        |
   But you rescued from reaching for the bottom
    Bm                                |A                 
And brought me back from being too far gone              
 
 
[chorus:]
                    |A                           |Bm         
 oh oh ah you’re as smooth__        as Tennessee whiskey
            |Bm                  |A       
You’re as sweeeeet as strawberry wine
          |A                 |Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
                  |Bm                         |A         |
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

 
[verse: 2]
|A                                        |Bm       |
  I’ve looked for love in all the same old places
Bm                                       |A       |
  Found the bottom of a bottle was always dry
|A                                            |Bm        
  But when you poured out your heart I didn’t waste it
              |Bm                              |A     
Cause there’s nothing like your love to get me high       
 
[chorus:]
                |A                           |Bm         
Yeah  You’re as smooth__        as Tennessee whiskey
            |Bm                  |A        
You’re as sweeeeet as strawberry wine
          |A                 |Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
                  |Bm                         |A       ** |
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
