E A
Verse 1:
A D
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playing
E7 A
A tune about the wilder side of life

And as I listen to the words that you are saying
E7 A
Brings memories of when I was a trusting wife
Chorus:
A A D
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
E7 A
Like you said in the words of your song
D
Too many times married men think they're still single
E7 A
That has cause many a good girl to go wrong
Verse 2:
A D
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women (Haha)
E7 A
It's not true that only you men feel the same
D
From the start, most every heart that's ever broken
E7 A
Was because there always was a man to blame
Chorus:
A A D
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

Like you said in the words of your song
