[C] [Dm]
[E] Now [F] I'm just a bartender,
[Bb] don't like [Gm] my work, [C] but I don't mind [Gm]
[F] at all.
[C] [Bb] [C]
[F] I see lots of sad faces [Bb] and lots of [Gm] bad cases [C] of folks with their backs [Bb] to [F] the wall.
[C] But [Bb] [E] I [F] need four [A] walls around me [Bb] to hold [Gm] my life, [C] to keep me from going
[F] astray.
[Dm] [E]
[F] And a honky-tonk angel [Bb] will hold [Gm] me tight to [C] keep me from slipping
[F] away.
I [C] [Dm] [C]
[F] can light up your smokes, [Bb] I can laugh at [G] your jokes, [C]
I can watch you [Eb] fall [C] down on [F] your knees.
[C] I [Gm]
[F] can close down this bar, [Bb] I can gas up my [Gm] car, [C] I can pack up and mail in [F] my key.
[C] [Bb] But [E] I [F] need four [C] [F] walls around me [Bb] to hold [Gm] my life, [C] to keep me from going
[F] astray.
[C] And [Bb] [E]
[F] a honky-tonk angel [Bb] will [Gm] hold me tight to [C] keep [F] me [C] from slipping
[F] away.

[Bb] [Gm]
[C]
[F] [Db] [Ebm]
[Db] Now the [Gb] smoke fills the air [Abm] in this honky-tonk bar, [Db] and I'm thinking about where [Abm] I'd [Bbm] rather be.
But [Am] [Ab]
[Gb] I burned all my bridges, [B] I sank all [Abm] my ships, [B]
[Db] and I'm stranded [Gb] at [Db] the edge of [Gb] the sea.
[Db] [Ebm] But [Db] I [Gb] need four walls around me [B] to hold [Abm] my life, [Db] to keep me from going [Gb] astray.
And [B]
[Gb] a honky-tonk angel [B] will hold [Abm] me tight [Db] to keep me from slipping away.
