{Intro} 
  G5 
1.Beneath this neon haze here in this honky tonk 

  I tell everyone who'll listen I don't miss her being gone 
  C5 
  I've got a big smile on my face that's all they see 
  G5                                        D5             G5 
  Guess there ain't no limit to what some people will believe 
 

    C5 
C.I say I've burned her memory 
   G5 
  But I'm just blowin' smoke 
   C5 
  There's embers in the ashes 
   D5 
  That haven't yet grown cold 
   C5 
  In the darkness here I hide a tear 
   G5                C5 
  Hoping it don't show 
   G5                                     D5 
  Well I say I burned her memory but I know 
                     G5 
  I'm just blowin' smoke 
 
2.I don't want to face the truth that I'm still in love with her 

  So I tell 'em she's just history as far as I'm concerned 

  Got over her the minute that she walked out the door 

  I just look 'em in the eye and lie that's what honky-tonks are for 
 
C. 
 

           C5 
B.I can fool 'em one I can fool 'em all 
     D5 
  I play the part so well 
          C5 
  I'd give all I ever owned 
             D5 
  If I could only fool myself 
 
C.
