(D)you wouldn't read my letters if I (G)wrote you
You (D)asked me not to call you on the (A)phone
For there's (D)something I'm wanting to (G)tell you
So I (D)wrote it in the (A)words of this (D)song
(Chorus)
(D)I didn't know God made honky-tonk (G)angels
I (D)might have known you'd never make a (A)wife
You gave (D)up the only one that ever (G)loved you
And went (D)back to the (A)wilder side of (D)life
Yes it hurt me to know that you don't love me
Though I know our love's forever gone
And it's killed my soul and pride dear inside me
when I saw you in that strangers arms so long
(Chorus)
I'll just live my life alone with memories of you
And dream of kisses traded for my tears
And no one will ever know how much I love you
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years
(Repeat Chorus)
