[Verse 1]
  E                A           E      
I used to spend my nights in a barroom
E                            B7   
Liquor was the only love I'd known
        E               A                E     
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
        E                    B7            E   
And you brought me back from being too far gone

[Chorus]
          E    A                 E      
You're as smoo-ooth as Tennessee whiskey
          E                   B7  
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
          E  E7                A     
You're as wa-arm as a glass of brandy
           E              B7           E   A
And I stay stoned on your love all the time

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
  F                  Bb               F     
I looked for love in all the same old places
          F                           C  
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry
         F                   Bb             F       
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
              F                 C              F   
Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

[Chorus]
          F    Bb                F      
You're as smoo-ooth as Tennessee whiskey
          F                   C   
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
          F  F7                Bb    
You're as wa-arm as a glass of brandy
           F              C            F   Bb
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
       F              C            Bb   F  
I stay stoned on your love all the ti - ime
