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"
[Outro]
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)
