Honky tonk truth (video) (intro) (midi)

G D

1. I'm the life of the party, baby, since you said good-bye,

D7 G

just ask old Joe, he knows, I'm here every night.

D

And that good old boy in the mirror looking around for you,

D7 G

it ain't me, and that's the honky tonk truth.

E

That's the honky tonk truth, cross my broken heart,

D G

I put my right hand here on this beer, and swear on this bar.

E A

I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues,

D - D7 G

I wouldn't lie to you, now that's the honky tonk truth.

+ E - A - D - D7 - G

G D

2. Don't think I'll come crawling back, ‘cause I don't miss you,

D7 G

if you walked up and puckered up, girl, I wouldn't bother to kiss you.

D

And that washed up, broken down fool hanging out on that stool

D7 G

well it ain't me, now that's the honky tonk truth.

+ CHORUS (2x)

E A

I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues,

D - D7 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G

I wouldn't lie to you, oh, that's the honky tonk truth.
