  			: 
As I (A) sit here tonight the jukebox (D) playing 
A (E) tune about the WILD SIDE OF (A) LIFE 
As I listen to the words you are (D) saying 
It brings (E) mem'ries when I was a trusting (A) wife. 
 
CHORUS: 
It wasn't God who made honky tonk (D) angels 
As you (E) said in the words of your (A) song 
Too many times married men think they're still (D) single 
That has (E) caused many a good girl to go (A) wrong. 
 
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women 
It's not true that only you men feel the same 
From the start most every heart that's ever broken 
Was because there always was a man to blame. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
