D                            G 
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you 
    A7                              D 
You asked me not to call you on the phone 
                                     G  
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you 
     A7                            D 
So I wrote it in the words of this song. 
 
Chorus: 
                                  G 
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels 
  A7                                  D 
I might have known you'd never make a wife 
                                   G 
You gave up the only one that ever loved you 
         A7                       D 
And went back to The Wild Side of Life. 
 
    D                                G 
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you 
       A7                               D 
To the places where the wine and liquor flows 
                               G 
Where you wait to be anybody's baby 
    A7                                 D 
And forget the truest love you'll ever know. 
 
Chorus:
