:  
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
