[Verse]
                                       G         
Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
A                                 D    
You ask me not to call you on the phone
D7             D         D7                       G7      
■  But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
G      A               A7            D   
■ So I wrote it in the words of this song


[Chorus]
                                 G     
I didn't know God made honkytonk angels
  A                                   D   
I might have known you'd never make a wife
                         D7        G        
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
    A                        A7      D7  
And went on back to the wild side of life


[Verse]
         D                  D7            G        
Well the glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
       A7     A A7                        D    D7
To the places ■ where the wine and liquor flow ■ 
                                     G   
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
    A                      D D7                  
And forget the truest love ■ ■  you'll ever known


[Chorus]
D             D7       G               
I didn't know God made honkytonk angels
  A                                   D    D7
I might have known you'd never make a wife ■ 
D        D7                                  G7
You gave up the only one that ever loved you ■ 
G     A                                D   
■ And went on back to the wild side of life
