         E                                                       A 
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
         B7                                                           E 
You asked me not to call you on the phone
                                                                           A 
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
           B7                                                       E 
So I wrote it in the words of this song
                   E                                                 A 
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
     B7                                                                   E 
I might have known you'd never make a wife
                                                                       A 
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
                   B7                                             E 
And went back to the wild side of life
Verse
           D                                                         G 
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin'
           A7                                                   D 
Your song about the wild side of life
                                                                   G 
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
                     A7                                                               D 
It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife
                     D                                             G 
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
               A7                                             D 
As you say in the words of your song
                                                                                   G 
Too many times married men think they're single
                   A7                                                       D 
And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong
                     D                                             G 
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
     A7                                                                   D 
I might have known you'd never make a wife
                                                                                   G 
Too many times married men think they're single
               A7                                             D 
And go back to the wild side of life
                 A7                                             D         A7   D 
They go back to the wild side of life
