[Intro]
  G

1.Beneath this neon haze here in this honky tonk
  I tell everyone who'll listen I don't miss her being gone
  C
  I've got a big smile on my face that's all they see
  G                                        D             G
  Guess there ain't no limit to what some people will believe

    C
C.I say I've burned her memory
   G
  But I'm just blowin' smoke
   C
  There's embers in the ashes
   D
  That haven't yet grown cold
   C
  In the darkness here I hide a tear
   G                C
  Hoping it don't show
   G                                     D
  Well I say I burned her memory but I know
                     G
  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.

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

C.
