The Whiskey Makes You Sweeter

A A A A

[Verse]
             A                 D              A
Well, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
               A                           D                     E
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
 D                             E
Now the haze has lifted I can see
           A                  E                                A
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be

      A
I started slow and steady
             D         A
I went from cola to a beer

I made a resolution:
           D               E
From the liquor I'd steer clear
        D
When I saw you there
                                E
Somethin' inside of me switched off
            A               E
And when I switched to the whiskey
                        A
Then I knew that I was gone

[Verse]
            A                 D                A
'Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
             A                          D                        E
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
D                              E
Now the haze has lifted I can see
          A                 E                                 A
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be

  A
"Sweets for a sweetheart."
         D               A
That is what you said to me

As you handed me a shot glass
     D                E
And drank down hungrily
       D
I was lost in dreams of sweet things
                    E
Runnin' through my head
      A               E
If it wasn't for the whiskey
                         A
Well, I'd have run away instead

[Verse]
                              D                A
'Cause the whiskey makes you sweeter than you are
                                        D                       E
If I'd quit drinkin' sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far
D                              E
Now the haze has lifted I can see
          A                 E                                 A
That the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever really be

              A                 E                                 A
Oh yeas, the whiskey makes you sweeter than you could ever be to me
