Intro: G A D
D                                G6
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you,
    A6                               Dmaj7
You asked me not to call you on the phone,
G           D                             G  G6
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you,
     A6             A7             D  Dmaj7 
So I wrote it in the words of this song.

D                                 G
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
  A7                                  D   D6
I might have known you'd never make a wife
D                                  G6
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
         A6          A7           D    Em
And went back to the wild side of life.

Break: D G A7 A D Eb E

     A                              D6  D
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing,
    E                           A
The tune about the wild side of life,
Bm7  A             A7        D6  D
As I listen to the words you are saying,
          E                              A6
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife.

A                      A7    D6   D
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels,
       E                         A6
As you said in the words of your song,
    D    A6            A7                D6    D
Too many times married men think they're still single,
         E                             A
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong.

A                         A7             D
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women,
         E                               A
It's not true that only you men feel the same,
A                                           D
From the start most every heart that's ever broken,
    E                                 A
Was because there always was a man to blame.

   D      A                                D
It wasn't God who made who made honky tonk angels,
       E                         A6
As you said in the words of your song,
         F#m           A7                      D
Too many times married men think they're still single,
         E                             A6     
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong.

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels,
  A7                                  D6  
I might have known you'd never make a wife,
D                                  G6
You gave up the only one that ever loved you,
         A                        D
And went back to the wild side of life,
Gmaj7    A           A7           D   Gm Dmaj7
And went back to the wild side of life.
