(D)you wouldn't read my letters if I (G)wrote you You (D)asked me not to call you on the (A)phone For there's (D)something I'm wanting to (G)tell you So I (D)wrote it in the (A)words of this (D)song (Chorus) (D)I didn't know God made honky-tonk (G)angels I (D)might have known you'd never make a (A)wife You gave (D)up the only one that ever (G)loved you And went (D)back to the (A)wilder side of (D)life Yes it hurt me to know that you don't love me Though I know our love's forever gone And it's killed my soul and pride dear inside me when I saw you in that strangers arms so long (Chorus) I'll just live my life alone with memories of you And dream of kisses traded for my tears And no one will ever know how much I love you And I pray that you'll be happy through the years (Repeat Chorus)
