INTRO:
D  F#m7  Em7  A
D  F#m7  Em7  A


VERSE:
 D                        F#m
Everybody's got it, that thing their heart beats for
Em7                                    A
It's what keeps 'em breathin' and the reason they were born

D                            F#m
I thought mine was fishin', cussin' and drinkin' beer
          Em7                        A
But what keeps my ticker tickin' is suddenly switchin' gears

            D                      F#m7
'Cause you came along, messed this old boy up
              Em7                A
And girl, I'm good as gone if I don't have your love


CHORUS:
          D                         F#m7
Like the blues need Mississippi or whiskey needs a Coke
 Em7                        A
Nitty needs some gritty, a hippie needs a toke

 D                                 F#m7
Girl, I ain't no different, got my gotta have it too
    Em7                           A                         D
And I'd be six feet in the ground if I had to live without you

F#m7       Em7
    Yeah, yeah
      A
Girl, if I had to live without


VERSE:
 D
Coffee, who needs it?
F#m
Girl, you done wound me up
        Em7
And my truck, just keep it
          A
'Cause I don't mind gettin' stuck with you

    D                F#m7
At home, alone, I'm country boy complete
Em7                                A
If I didn't have you, girl, there wouldn't be nothing


CHORUS:
          D                         F#m7
Like the blues need Mississippi or whiskey needs a Coke
 Em7                        A
Nitty needs some gritty, a hippie needs a toke

 D                                 F#m7
Girl, I ain't no different, got my gotta have it too
    Em7                           A                        Em7
And I'd be six feet in the ground if I had to live without you


BDA K:
                   A
I'd be a dead man walkin'
                         Em7
If I had to live without you
                          A
Girl, I ain't just sweet talkin', no, no


VERSE:
          D
Yeah, my lips need your kisses
   F#m7
My boots need your dance
        Em7                                 A
I don't need to live without you, girl, to know that I can't


CHORUS:
                D                         F#m7
Yeah, like the blues need Mississippi or whiskey needs a Coke
 Em7                        A
Nitty needs some gritty, a hippie needs a toke

 D                                 F#m7
Girl, I ain't no different, got my gotta have it too
    Em7                           A                       D
And I'd be six feet in the ground if I had to live without

You

(Blues need Mississippi or whiskey needs a Coke)

F#m7                         Em7
 Oh, I couldn't live without you, girl
                             A
(Nitty needs some gritty, a hippie needs a toke)

A                  D
I'd be a dead man walkin'
                                     F#m7
(Girl, I ain't no different, got my gotta have it too)

                        Em7
No, I ain't just sweet talkin', no, no
     Em7
(And I'd be six feet in the ground)

A                         D
If I had to live without you
