Verse 1

G                                   C
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing
D7                            G
A tune about the wild side of life
C
As I listen to the words you are saying
D7                                     G
It brings memories when I was trusting wife

Verse 2

C
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
D7                                G
As you wrote in the words of your song
C
Too many times married men think they're still single
D7                                     G
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

Verse 3

C
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
D7                                       G
It's not true that only you men feel the same
C
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
D7                                    G
Was because there always was a man to blame

Verse 2

C
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
D7                                G
As you wrote in the words of your song
C
Too many times married men think they're still single
D7                                     G
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
