Honky Tonk Flame chords by Tyler Childers

Verse 1:
E
I was out of my mind the first night we met
             B
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
   B            E
And chasing that honky tonk flame

Verse 2:
 E
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
             B
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
  B            E
Along with that honky tonk flame

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

Verse 3:
E
You were sweet to the touch

And a touch for the takin'
                B
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
   B            E
And chasing that honky tonk flame

Chorus 2:
        A       D    E
But I got me a woman with a love so true
                  B
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
          E          A
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
B                  E
