[E] You wouldn't read my letter if [A] I wrote you,
[B] You asked me not to [E] call you on the phone,
But there's something I'm [A] longing to tell you,
[B] So I wrote it in the [E] words of this song,
I didn't know God made [A] honky-tonk angels,
[B] I might have known you'd never [E] make a wife,
You gave up the only one that [A] ever loved you,
[F#m]
[B] And went back to the wild [E] side of life,
[B] [E] As I see in the air tonight the [A] trombones playing,
[B] Your song about the wild [E] side of life,
As I listen to the words [A] you've been saying,
[B] It brings memories of when I was a [E] trusting wife,
It was God made [A] honky-tonk angels,
[B] Like you say in the words [E] of that song,
Too many times married men [A] think they're single all along,
[B] And they cause many a good girl [E] to go wrong,
That's the truth.
That hurt my feelings.
Anybody can do it like that.
I didn't know [A] God [E] made honky [A]-tonk angels,
[B] I might have known you'd never [E] make a wife,
Too many times married men [A] think they're single all along,
And [B] go back to the wild [E] side of life,
[B] You asked me not to [E] call you on the phone,
But there's something I'm [A] longing to tell you,
[B] So I wrote it in the [E] words of this song,
I didn't know God made [A] honky-tonk angels,
[B] I might have known you'd never [E] make a wife,
You gave up the only one that [A] ever loved you,
[F#m]
[B] And went back to the wild [E] side of life,
