[G#]
[C] [F#]
[Dm] [G]
[C]
I never seen you [Em] look quite [C] so sad
[F] And I never felt me [Gm] feel quite [C] so bad
[Dm] And I [Em] know we both [E] feel that deep [Am] in the head
[D] And I guess that we're just not [F] that strong
[G]
[F] Cause I lost [C] my woman [E] and you lost [Am] your man
[F] Who knows [C] who's right or [E] who's wrong
[F] But I still got [C] my guitar [E] and I've got [Am] a plan
Throw [C] your arms round [G] this honky [C] tonk man
[F] Throw your arms round this honky [C] tonk man
[F] And we'll get through the night the best way [G] we can
[F] It's the best old [C] pain killer [E] since hurting [A] began
[Em] Throw
[F#] [D]
[C] your arms round [G] this honky [C] tonk man
[Am] [G#]
[C] [F#]
[Dm] [G]
[C]
I miss my woman [E] and you miss your [C] man too
[F] But there's not a hell of a lot [Gm] that we [C] can do
[D] But cling to [Em] each other [E] till the hurting [Am] is through
[D] And the hurt can only last just [G] so long
[F] You be [C] my woman [E] and I'll be [Am] your man
[F] Even [C] if just [E] for a while
[F] I still got [C] my guitar [E] and I've got a [F] plan
Throw [C] your arms round [G] this honky [C] tonk man
[F] Throw your arms round this honky [C] tonk man
[F] And we'll get through the night the best [G] way we can
It's the best old [C] pain killer [E] since hurting
[A] began
[Em]
[F#] [D] Throw [C] your arms round [G] this honky [Am] tonk man
[G#] Throw [C] [F#]
[Dm] your arms round this [G]
honky [C] tonk man
