Too Sweet keyboard

Too Sweet

• Intro Baseline

Tune your guitar down a full step down from standard (EADGBE) to (DGCFAD)

For my own sanity I'll write the chord shapes as if its still in standard, relative to how the shape 
would
be when its being played with no capo. But in reality the chords were transposed -2. Chords in brackets
are optional because in the song it was played by the bass. Strum once for effect.

Verse 1
A             B                C
It can't be said I'm an early bird
      D            E       F
It's ten o'clock before I say a word
  F                G
Baby, I can never tell
 G                   E
How do you sleep so well?

(You can start strumming here)

 G                      Am
You keep telling me to live right
                         Bm  C
To go to bed before the daylight
                                F
But then you wake up for the sunrise
                            C
You know you don't gotta pretend
               Bm
Baby, now and then
G                         Am
Don't you just wanna wake up
           Am
Dark as a lake
                Bm  C
Smelling like a bonfire
           C
Lost in a haze?
                          F
If you're drunk on life, babe
               F
I think it's great
                   G
But while in this world
              E7
I think I'll take my whiskey


Chorus
 Am
Neat
                        C
My coffee black and my bed at three
                     F
You're too sweet for me
                     C
You're too sweet for me
   E7              Am
I take my whiskey neat
                        C
My coffee black and my bed at three
                     F
You're too sweet for me
                     C
You're too sweet for me

Verse 2
       Am
I aim low
                      Bm             C
I aim true, and the ground's where I go
                                      F
I work late where I'm free from the phone
                  C
And the job gets done
               Bm       
But you worry some, I know
                                Am
But who wants to live forever, babe
                Bm                C
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
                                 F
The rest of you like you're the TSA
                         C
I wish that I could go along
                    Bm
Babe, don't get me wrong
 G                               Am
You know you're bright as the morning
                 Am
As soft as the rain
  Bm         C
Pretty as a vine
               C
As sweet as a grape
                      F
If you can sit in a barrel
            F
Maybe I'll wait
            G
Until that day
            E7
I'd rather take my whiskey


Chorus
Am
Neat
                        C
My coffee black and my bed at three
                     F
You're too sweet for me
                     C
You're too sweet for me
   E7              Am
I take my whiskey neat
                        C
My coffee black and my bed at three
                     F
You're too sweet for me
                     C
You're too sweet for me

            Am
Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh
         Bm    C
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh
         E     F
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh oh
         C  Bm
Oh-oh-oh-oh
            Am
Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh
         Bm    C
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh
         E     F
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh oh
         C
Oh-oh-oh-oh

   E7              Am
I take my whiskey neat
                        C
My coffee black and my bed at three
                     F
You're too sweet for me
                     C  E7
You're too sweet for me
