Out On A Drunk - Honky Tonk Flame chords by Tyler Childers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
         E  Esus4 E
I was out on a drunk
            B7
I was wild enough to shoot at

Too high to hit
       E Esus4 E
Too low to try

Try as I may
       B7
Have good intentions

Natural-born heathens
          E Esus4 E
Love backslider's wine


Verse 2:
        E Esus4 E
Brothers and sisters
        B7
That would be bourbon

That'd be 'bout the furthest
        E Esus4 E
Thing that I need

All my born days
           B7
I ain't never been decent

At hidin' the demons
        E Esus4 E7
I'm haulin' in me


Chorus:
   A
Too often I reach
                E        A
For things I know keep me for bein' all that I can
    B7
Like a man


Interlude:
E B7 E E Esus4 E


Verse 3:
           E Esus4 E
There are things I recall
              B7
There are things that are hazy

There are things that just shame me
              E Esus4 E
There are things I can't change

Try as I might
         B7
Too have good intentions

Natural-born heathens
          E Esus4 E7
Love backslidin' ways


Chorus:
       A
Too often I reach
                E        A
For things I know keep me for being all that I can
    B7
Like a man


Verse 1:
E
I was out of my mind the first night we met
             B7
I was feeling lonely and blue

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

Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky
                 A
Without a penny or a worth to his name
            E
Wasting his life on a burnin' desire
   B7            E
And chasing that honky tonk flame


Verse 2:
 E
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
             B7
Leaving me helpless of lines

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

Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
                   A
You're mistaken if you think I'm the same
                      E
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town
  B7            E
Along with that honky tonk flame


Chorus 1:
 A         D    E
I'm a woman with a love so true
                  B7
Truth of the matter I'd give it to you
           E           A
You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way
 B7                   E
Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame


Verse 3:
E
You were sweet to the touch

And a touch for the takin'
                B7
The minute I learned how to breathe

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

Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
                 A
Except writing the songs that I sing
                  E
Beating them strings like they're owing me money
   B7            E
And chasing that honky tonk flame


Chorus 2:
        A       D    E
But I got me a woman with a love so true
                  B7
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
          E          A
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
B7                  E
Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame
