Lyrics

[Intro]
| Gm - | - F/A | Bb - | - - |
| Eb - | - -   | F  - | D - |

[Verse 1]
Gm
            F/A         Bb
It can't be said I'm an early bird
                         Eb
It's 10 o'clock before I say a word
                  F
Baby, I can never tell
                    D
How do you sleep so well?
                       Gm
You keep tellin' me to live right
         F/A            Bb
To go to bed before the daylight
                             Eb
But then you wake up for the sunrise
                            Bb
You know you don't gotta pretend
              F/A
Baby, now and then
                         Gm
Don't you just wanna wake  up

[Pre-Chorus]
Dark as a lake
     F/A           Bb
Smellin' like a bonfire
Lost in a haze?
                        Eb
If you're drunk on life,  babe
I think it's great
                       F
But while in this world
             D               Gm
I think I'll take my whiskey neat

[Chorus]
                F/A    Bb
My coffee black and my bed at three
                       Eb
You're too sweet for me
                       Bb
You're too sweet for me
  D               Gm
I take my whiskey neat
                F/A    Bb
My coffee black and my bed at three
                       Eb
You're too sweet for me
                       Bb D
You're too sweet for me

[Bridge]
Gm F/A Bb Eb
Bb
F/A      Gm
   I aim low

[Verse 2]
                    F/A              Bb
I aim true, and the ground's where I go
                                    Eb
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
        F             D
But you worry some, I know
                         Gm
But who wants to live forever, babe?
               F/A              Bb
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
                                Eb
The rest of you like you're the TSA
                   Bb
I wish I could go along
                   F/A
Babe, don't get me wrong
                                 Gm
You know you're bright as the morning

[Pre-Chorus]
As soft as the rain
       F/A      Bb
Pretty as a vine
As sweet as a grape
                       Eb
If you can sit in a barrel
Maybe I'll wait
              F
Until that day
           D               Gm
I'd rather take my whiskey neat

[Chorus]
                F/A    Bb
My coffee black and my bed at three
                       Eb
You're too sweet for me
                       Bb
You're too sweet for me
  D               Gm
I take my whiskey neat
                F/A    Bb
My coffee black and my bed at three
                       Eb
You're too sweet for me
                       Bb D
You're too sweet for me

[Bridge]
Gm F/A Bb
Eb Bb F/A Gm
F/A Bb Eb
F
  D               Gm
I take my whiskey neat

[Outro]
          F/A          Bb
My coffee black and my bed at three
                       Eb
You're too sweet for me
                     Bb F/A
You're too sweet for me
