Verse:
Bb Eb
Well, you wouldnʼt read my letters if I wrote you
F Bb
You ask me not to call you on the phone
Eb
Well, thereʼs something Iʼve been waiting for to tell you
F Bb
So I wrote it in the words of a song
Now the glamour of the game that life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquer flow
Well, you went to be some body elseʼs baby
And forget the truest love you ever know
Chorus:
Bb Eb
I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
F Bb
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
Eb C
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
F Bb
And went back to that wild side of life

Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life
