         A                             D        
Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
E                                   A    
You asked me not to call you on the phone
E A                                          D       
■ There's something I've been waiting for to tell you
     E                             A   
So I wrote it in the words of this song
          A                                
You never knew there were honky tonk angels
   A7                                        
Or you might have known I'd never make a wife
                      D                          
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you


[Chorus]
     E                                 
So I went back to the wild side of life
                                E             
Now the glamor of the good life always lead me
   E7         A                          
To the places where the wild liquor flows
              A                      
I tried to be your one and only angel
                               D           
But I'm not that kind of angel heaven knows
           E                                
I cried so hard the day you went and left me
                            A                       
'cause some things you said they cut me like a knife

[Verse]
Gbm7                        A            
What you wanted was another kind of angel
                          A                    
And you should be back to the wild side of life
                           D               
No well I guess I'm just a honky tonk angel
  D                                     
I might have known I'd never make a wife
E                                            
Well you left the only one who ever loved you
                         A                
And I'm back here on the wild side of life


[Chorus]
           A               
I'm only a honky tonk angel
                       D                
I might have known I'd never make a wife
E                                                
You walked out on the only one who ever loved you
                            A                 E7 A
And you left me here on the wild side of life ■  ■
