1. It can't be said I'm an early bird,

C

it's ten o'clock before I say a word.

D B7

Baby, I can never tell how do you sleep so well ?

Em

You keep telling me to live right,

G

to go to bed before the daylight

C

but then you wake up for the sunrise.

D B7

You know you don't gotta pretend, baby, now and then.

Em

Don't you just wanna wake up dark as a lake,

G

smelling like a bonfire lost in a haze?

C

If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great,

D

but while in this world ….

B7 Em G

I think I'll take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at three,

C G

you're too sweet for me, you're too sweet for me.

B7 Em G

I take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at three;

C G - B7

You're too sweet for me, you're too sweet for m……..e.

2. I aim low, I aim true, and the ground's where I go,

C

I work late where I'm free from the phone,

D B7

and the job gets done, but you worry some, I know.

Em

But who wants to live forever, babe ?

G

You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate,

C

the rest of you like you're the TSA,

D B7

I wish I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong.

Em

You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain,

G

pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape,

C D

if you can sit in a barrel maybe I'll wait until that day.

B7 Em G

I'd rather take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at three,

C G

you're too sweet for me, you're too sweet for me.

B7 Em G

I take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at three,

C G - B7

you're too sweet for me, you're too sweet for m.......e.
