Verse 1:
         E MajorE  Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
I was out on a drunk
            B7B7
I was wild enough to shoot at

Too high to hit
       E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Too low to try

Try as I may
       B7B7
Have good intentions

Natural-born heathens
          E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Love backslider's wine

Verse 2:
        E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Brothers and sisters
        B7B7
That would be bourbon

That'd be 'bout the furthest
        E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Thing that I need

All my born days
           B7B7
I ain't never been decent

At hidin' the demons
        E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E7E7
I'm haulin' in me


Chorus:
   A augmentedA
Too often I reach
                E MajorE        A augmentedA
For things I know keep me for bein' all that I can
    B7B7
Like a man


Interlude:
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE E Esus4Esus4 E MajorE

Verse 3:
           E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
There are things I recall
              B7B7
There are things that are hazy

There are things that just shame me
              E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
There are things I can't change

Try as I might
         B7B7
Too have good intentions

Natural-born heathens
          E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E7E7
Love backslidin' ways


Chorus:
       A augmentedA
Too often I reach
                E MajorE        A augmentedA
For things I know keep me for being all that I can
    B7B7
Like a man


Verse 1:
E MajorE
I was out of my mind the first night we met
             B7B7
I was feeling lonely and blue

I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest
               E MajorE
The city can put a hurtin' on you

Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky
                 A augmentedA
Without a penny or a worth to his name
            E MajorE
Wasting his life on a burnin' desire
   B7B7            E MajorE
And chasing that honky tonk flame


Verse 2:
 E MajorE
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
             B7B7
Leaving me helpless of lines

To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
                 E MajorE
And the plans I had made for our night

Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
                   A augmentedA
You're mistaken if you think I'm the same
                      E MajorE
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town
  B7B7            E MajorE
Along with that honky tonk flame


Chorus 1:
 A augmentedA         D MajorD    E MajorE
I'm a woman with a love so true
                  B7B7
Truth of the matter I'd give it to you
           E MajorE           A augmentedA
You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way
 B7B7                   E MajorE
Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame


Verse 3:
E MajorE
You were sweet to the touch

And a touch for the takin'
                B7B7
The minute I learned how to breathe

Finally found out that the love of a woman
                E MajorE
Who loved me was all that I'd need

Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
                 A augmentedA
Except writing the songs that I sing
                  E MajorE
Beating them strings like they're owing me money
   B7B7            E MajorE
And chasing that honky tonk flame


Chorus 2:
        A augmentedA       D MajorD    E MajorE
But I got me a woman with a love so true
                  B7B7
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
          E MajorE          A augmentedA
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
B7B7                  E MajorE
Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame
