verse 1 G If whiskey were a woman B7 She'd do her best to get you drunk C G Lie quietly beside you, watch you sleep If weed were a woman B7 She'd fill up both your lungs C G D And get you higher than you thought you could ever be Bridge C G If whiskey were a woman verse 2 If a prayer was a woman B7 She would wait patiently C G D In your throat until you found the strength to speak G If the sunrise was a woman B7 She would surround you with salvation C G D And get you standing right up off your knees Bridge C If whiskey were a woman G She'd be nothing like meverse 3 If the cure was a woman B7 She would get under your skin C G D And take all of your troubles away G She would remind you who you were B7 Before all the pain set in C G D When you promised her your love would never fade Bridge C If whiskey were a woman G She'd be nothing like meD 'Cause I have given in C I_ have given up D C You wanna love something that I could never be D So take me off the shelf C Take me right out of your arms Am C G C G And pour yourself a glass of whiskeyBridge C If whiskey were a woman G She'd be nothing like me C If whiskey were a woman G She'd be nothing like meD 'Cause I have given in C I_ have given up D C You wanna love something that I could never be D So take me off the shelf C Take me right out of your arms Am C G C G And pour yourself a glass of whiskey
