Chords

[Verse 1]
                 E   Esus4  E
I was out on a drunk

                       B7
I was wild enough to shoot at
Too high to hit
             E  Esus4  E
Too low to try
Try as I may
             B7
Have good intentions
Natural-born heathens
                    E  Esus4 E
Love backslider's wine
[Verse 2]
                E  Esus4  E
Brothers and sisters

               B7
That would be bourbon
That'd be 'bout the furthest
               E  Esus4  E
Thing that I need
All my born days
                     B7
I ain't never been decent
At hidin' the demons
                E  Esus4  E7
I'm haulin' in me
[Chorus]
      A
Too often I reach

                                E               A
For things I know keep me for bein' all that I can

        B7
Like a man
[Interlude] E B7 E E Esus4 E [Verse 3]
                      E  Esus4  E
There are things I recall

                            B7
There are things that are hazy
There are things that just shame me
                           E  Esus4  E
There are things I can't change
Try as I might
                 B7
Too have good intentions
Natural-born heathens
                   E  Esus4  E7
Love backslidin' ways
[Chorus]
              A
Too often I reach

                                E               A
For things I know keep me for being all that I can

        B7
Like a man
[Verse 1]
E
I was out of my mind the first night we met

                          B7
I was feeling lonely and blue
I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest
                              E
The city can put a hurtin' on you
Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky
                                  A
Without a penny or a worth to his name

                       E
Wasting his life on a burnin' desire

     B7                       E
And chasing that honky tonk flame
[Verse 2]
 E
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing

                         B7
Leaving me helpless of lines
To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
                                  E
And the plans I had made for our night
Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
                                      A
You're mistaken if you think I'm the same

                                           E
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town

    B7                       E
Along with that honky tonk flame
[Chorus 1]
 A                  D       E
I'm a woman with a love so true

                                   B7
Truth of the matter I'd give it to you

                      E                      A
You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way

 B7                                     E
Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame
[Verse 3]
E
You were sweet to the touch
And a touch for the takin'
                                B7
The minute I learned how to breathe
Finally found out that the love of a woman
                               E
Who loved me was all that I'd need
Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
                                 A
Except writing the songs that I sing

                                   E
Beating them strings like they're owing me money

     B7                       E
And chasing that honky tonk flame
[Chorus 2]
                A             D       E
But I got me a woman with a love so true

                                    B7
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you

                    E                   A
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane

B7                                    E
Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame
