G

C

maybe gain a new perspective
G
of why were so infected by our dreams
Am D G

Am D G
and thinking about the life we could have
D

C

G

G
its the sweetest kind of poison
C
tickle you and take away your faith
whiskey for a lifetime
G
wreck your soul in the smallest little taste

Bridge:
Em
i am just a guitar man that fell in love with you
C
