Chords

[Verse 1]
D
Memories and drinks don't mix too well.

                                             G       E7
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.

A
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,

                                D       A
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
[Verse 2]
D
Tonight, I need that woman again.

                                       G      E7
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.

A
Sit down beside me and say it's alright.

                                         D       A7
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.
[Chorus]
    D          D7           G          E7
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.

             G                  A            D
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.

  G                      F#7               Bm     A       E
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any f-o-o-o-l can tell,

          D                                 G      A        D       A7
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes you f-e-e-e-l like hell.
[Verse 3]
D
I light a lonely woman’s cigarette,

                                               G       E7
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.

A
Her life story and mine are the same.

                                                D       A7
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.
[Chorus]
    D          D7           G          E7
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.

             G                  A            D
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.

  G                      F#7               Bm     A        E
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any f-o-o-o-l can tell,

          D                                 G      A        D       A7      D
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes you f-e-e-e-l like hell
