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 it's still in standard, relative to how the shape
would be when it's being played with no capo. But in reality the chords were transposed -2.

Verse 1
[Am] [C]
It can't be said I'm an early bird
[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
[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
[E7]
Baby, now and then
[Am]
Don't you just wanna wake up
[Am]
Dark as a lake
[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

My coffee black and my bed at three

You're too sweet for me

Verse 2
[Am]
I aim low
[C]
I aim true, and the ground's where I go
[F]
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
[G] [E7]
But you worry some, I know
[Am]
But who wants to live forever, babe
[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
[E7]
Babe, don't get me wrong
[Am]
You know you're bright as the morning
[Am]
As soft as the rain
[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

Neat

My coffee black and my bed at three

My coffee black and my bed at three

You're too sweet for me

You're too sweet for me
