Honky Tonk Flame Chords & Lyrics - Tyler Childers - Out On A Drunk

[VERSE 1]
I was out on a dr[E]unk [Esus4] [E]
I was wild enough to sh[B7]oot at

Too high to hit
Too low to tr[E]y [Esus4] [E]

Try as I may
Have good int[B7]entions

Natural-born heathens
Love backslider's wi[E]ne [Esus4] [E]


[VERSE 2]
Brothers and sis[E]ter[Esus4]s [E]
That would be b[B7]ourbon

That'd be 'bout the furthest
Thing that I ne[E]ed [Esus4] [E]

All my born days
I ain't never been de[B7]cent

At hidin' the demons
I'm haulin' in m[E]e [Esus4] [E7]


[CHORUS]
Too of[A]ten I reach
For things I know keep me for be[E]in' all that I c[A]an
Like a m[B7]an

[INTERLUDE]
[E] [B7] [E] [E] [Esus4] [E]

[VERSE 3]
There are things I rec[E]all[Esus4] [E]
There are things that are ha[B7]zy

There are things that just shame me
There are things I can't ch[E]ang[Esus4]e [E]

Try as I might
Too have good int[B7]entions

Natural-born heathens
Love backslidin' wa[E]ys [Esus4] [E7]


[CHORUS]
Too often I re[A]ach
For things I know keep me for be[E]ing all that I c[A]an
Like a m[B7]an

[VERSE 1]
[E]I was out of my mind the first night we met
I was feeling lonely and b[B7]lue

I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest
The city can put a hurtin' on [E]you

Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky
Without a penny or a worth to his [A]name
Wasting his life on a b[E]urnin' desire
And c[B7]hasing that honky tonk fl[E]ame

[VERSE 2]
Y[E]ou were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
Leaving me helpless of li[B7]nes

To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
And the plans I had made for our n[E]ight

Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
You're mistaken if you think I'm the s[A]ame
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over[E] town
Alon[B7]g with that honky tonk fl[E]ame

[CHORUS 1]
I[A]'m a woman with a l[D]ove so t[E]rue
Truth of the matter I'd give it to [B7]you
You just got to slow d[E]own, quit actin' that w[A]ay
B[B7]urnin' your barn in this honky tonk fla[E]me

[VERSE 3]
[E]You were sweet to the touch

And a touch for the takin'
The minute I learned how to brea[B7]the

Finally found out that the love of a woman
Who loved me was all that I'd n[E]eed

Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
Except writing the songs that I s[A]ing
Beating them strings like they're o[E]wing me money
And c[B7]hasing that honky tonk fl[E]ame

[CHORUS 2]
But I got me a w[A]oman with a lo[D]ve so tr[E]ue
Darlin' to me but that's missus to y[B7]ou
All I did was slow d[E]own and quit actin' [A]insane
[B7]Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk fla[E]me
