  G 
 
1.Beneath this neon haze here in this honky tonk 
  I tell everyone who'll listen I don't miss her being gone 
  C 
  I've got a big smile on my face that's all they see 
  G                                        D             G 
  Guess there ain't no limit to what some people will believe 
 
    C 
C.I say I've burned her memory 
   G 
  But I'm just blowin' smoke 
   C 
  There's embers in the ashes 
   D 
  That haven't yet grown cold 
   C 
  In the darkness here I hide a tear 
   G                C 
  Hoping it don't show 
   G                                     D 
  Well I say I burned her memory but I know 
                     G 
  I'm just blowin' smoke 
 
2.I don't want to face the truth that I'm still in love with her 
  So I tell 'em she's just history as far as I'm concerned 
  Got over her the minute that she walked out the door 
  I just look 'em in the eye and lie that's what honky-tonks are for 
 
C. 
 
           C 
B.I can fool 'em one I can fool 'em all 
     D 
  I play the part so well 
          C 
  I'd give all I ever owned 
             D 
  If I could only fool myself 
 
C.
