Every Sweet Thing
Every sweet thing I love tastes a little like your kiss.
G major104 BPM4/43:38slow-danceYou Can't Frame a Summerhigh confidence
Verse 1
You're the shine on my shoes on a Sunday
The twang in my favorite guitar
The punchline that kills in a good joke
The wish when I'm wishin' on a star
Pre-Chorus
I could list it all day, girl, and still not be through
'Cause every good thing that I know reminds me of you...
Chorus
You're the sugar in my sweet tea
The spark in my lighter
The porch on my front step when the summer gets brighter
You're the honey on my biscuit
The salt on my fries
The twinkle that's twinkling in my two eyes
Baby, you're the best thing happenin' to me
You're the sugar in my sweet tea
Verse 2
You're the line that I love in a love song
The smile on a photograph
The feeling I get when the Friday night hits
And I know you're 'bout to call me back
Pre-Chorus
I could name every reason and still come up short
'Cause you're the good in the good I was lookin' for...
Chorus
You're the sugar in my sweet tea
The spark in my lighter
The porch on my front step when the summer gets brighter
You're the honey on my biscuit
The salt on my fries
The twinkle that's twinkling in my two eyes
Baby, you're the best thing happenin' to me
You're the sugar in my sweet tea
Bridge
I don't need a dictionary, don't need a poem
Don't need some fancy word I can't pronounce on my own
I just need the simple truth and the simple truth is this —
Every sweet thing I love tastes a little like your kiss
Final Chorus
You're the sugar in my sweet tea
The spark in my lighter
The porch on my front step when the summer gets brighter
You're the honey on my biscuit
The salt on my fries
The twinkle that's twinkling in my two eyes
Baby, you're the best thing happenin' to me
You're the sugar in my sweet tea
Oh, you're the sugar in my sweet tea
Outro
Yeah, you're the sugar, baby...
The sweet in my tea...
Every little good thing —
That's just you to me

Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
