Tyler Childers - Honky Tonk Flame: Guitar Chords

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

You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
Leaving me helpless of lines
To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
And the plans I had made for our night
Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
You're mistaken if you think I'm the same
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town
Along with that honky tonk flame

Chorus:
 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

You were sweet to the touch
And a touch for the takin'
The minute I learned how to breathe
Finally found out that the love of a woman
Who loved me was all that I'd need
Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
Except writing the songs that I sing
Beating them strings like they're owing me money
And chasing that honky tonk flame

Chorus:
But I got me a woman with a love so true
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame
