Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
You [D]wouldn't read my letter if I [G]wrote you
You [A]asked me not to call you on the [D]phone
But there's something I'm wanting to [G]tell you
So I [A]wrote it in the words of this [D]song

[Chorus 1]
I didn't [D]know
God made Honky Tonk [G]angels
I [A]might have known you'd never make a [D]wife
You gave up the only one that ever [G]loved you
And went [A]back to the wild side of [D]life

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][G][G]
[A][A][D][D]

[Verse 2]
The [D]glamor of the gay nightlife has [G]lured you
To the [A]places where the wine and liquor [D]flow
Where you wait to be anybody's [G]ba by
And for[A]get the truest love you'll ever [D]know

[Chorus 2]
I didn't [D]know
God made Honky Tonk [G]angels
I [A]might have known you'd never make a [D]wife
You gave up the only one that ever [G]loved you
And went [A]back to the wild side of [D]life
