Honky Tonk Angels

	  		(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)
