A D Sheʼs in some honky tonk tonight I know E A Running where the musicʼs loud and the lights are low D In a crowded bar she likes to hang around E A And as long as thereʼs a honky tonk, sheʼll never settle down A D So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors E A Donʼt let the one I love go there any more D Close up the honky tonks throw away the key E A Then maybe the one I love will come back to me A D I wish I had the power to turn back the time E A And live again the hours when she was all mine D Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown E A And as long as thereʼs a honky tonk sheʼll never settle down A D So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors E A Donʼt let the one I love go there any more D Close up the honky tonks throw away the key E A Then maybe the one I love will come back to me E A Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
