V5

[Intro – brushed drums with shuffle groove + walking upright bass] Mmmm… yeah…… [Verse 1] You poured me a glass of your dangerous charm, One sip and I'm spinning, lost in your arms. Your words are like whiskey, smooth on the tongue, Leaves me staggering till the damage is done. I stumble through mornings with your name on my breath, Can't walk in a straight line, half-drunk from your kiss. The room starts to tilt when I think of your face, I'm too drunk on your love to stand in one place. [Pre-Chorus – building brass] Oh, the bottle's empty but the feeling won't fade, I'm stumbling in circles that your love has made… [Chorus – big, soulful, with Amy-style ad-libs] Mmmm….Too drunk to stand, Your love got me swaying like a one-woman band. Yeah…….Too drunk to stand, I'm falling all over, can't find solid land. Too drunk… to stand… Baby, I can't fill my own way [Verse 2] I tried to walk away, but my legs wouldn't go, Your memory's a liquor that I can't say no. The world's spinning round like a carnival ride, And I'm holding the bottle with nothing inside. You left me this hangover, sweet and so cruel, A beautiful poison that breaks every rule. I laugh through the tears, I dance through the pain, But I'm too drunk on you to stand up again. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the bottle's empty but the feeling won't fade, I'm stumbling in circles that your love has made… [Chorus] Mmmm….Too drunk to stand, Your love got me swaying like a one-woman band. Yeah…….Too drunk to stand, I'm falling all over, can't find solid land. Too drunk… to stand… Baby, I can't fill my own way [Bridge – slower, raw & vulnerable, piano only] Oh… I know I should quit, I know I should run, But your love is the bottle, and I'm having much fun. One more sip, one more night, one more lies in the bed, But your love's can't refuse, do I am drinking again… [Final Chorus – fuller, with brass and ad-libs] Mmmm….Too drunk to stand, Your love got me swaying like a one-woman band. Yeah…….Too drunk to stand, I'm falling all over, can't find solid land. Too drunk… to stand… Baby, I can't fill my own way [Outro – fading piano + soft vocal ad-libs] Too drunk to stand… Mmmm, too drunk Too drunk to stand… But I still want you… Too drunk… too drunk… On your love… Yeah….
