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" 


[Chorus]

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" 


[Verse]

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 


[Chorus]

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" 


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

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" 


[Otro]

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)
