[Verse 1]
C                 C7
Now I'm just a bartender
      F             Dm
And I don't like my work
       G              G7       C   G   Gadd11  Cadd9
But I don't mind the money at all
 
 
[Verse 2]
       C           C7
I see lots of sad faces
     F           Dm
And lots of bad cases
   G                 G7          C   G   Gadd11  Cadd9
Of folks with their backs to the wall
 
 
[Chorus]
   C             C7       F       Dm7
But I need four walls  to hold my life
   G            G7      C   G7  Am7  G/B
To keep me from going a-stray
      C            C7      F      Dm7
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
   G            G7        C    G7  Am7  G/B
To keep me from slipping away

[Verse 3]
       C            C7
I can light up your smokes
       F             Dm
I can laugh at your jokes
       G              G7           C    G   Gadd11  Cadd9
I can watch you fall down on your knees
       C              C7
I can close down this bar
       F       Dm7
I can gas up my car
       G          G7          C   G   Gadd11  Cadd9
I can pack up and mail in my key
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         C               C7
Now, the smoke fills the air
        F           Dm7
In this honky-tonk bar
         G7                             C  G7  Am7  G/B
And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be
       C             C7
But I burned all my bridges
   F           Dm7
I sank all my ships
         G7                         C  G7  Am7  G/B
And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea
