Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
One  more margarita  was one  bad idea
 Now you don't  know where you left  your car
 And the rent's  overdue,  well, imagine  that
 And you think  you might die  from a broken heart
 Well, you've told  us all  your life's  a total wreck
 Then you might  not want  to hear  what's comin' next
 Cause this  is a honky tonk song
 One of those get  another beer, bend another ear. somebody did somebody wrong  songs
 Between the pain  and the pinin', cussin' and the cryin', it might be ten minutes long
 Hey, but that's okay,  this is a honky tonk song
Now  this is for Alice way out in Dallas who got dumped at the Burger King
 And this  is for Bobby who just quit his job, he's movin' out to Nashville to sing
 For that long  haul trucker who won't be home for supper 'Cause he's stranded on the side
 of the road
 For everybody lonesome,  everybody blue,  yeah
 Steel break
 Fiddle break
 It's for that good ol' boy preachin', dealin' with the Deacons
 and the little ladies with the beehive hair-do's
 And what about the waitress who don't think she can take it
 standin' on her feet one more night
 For that Nascar racer that never sees the checkered flag wavin' crazy for him
 For everyone who feels like they were born to lose, yeah
 It's when the pain and the pinin', cussin' and the cryin', this thing is goin' on
 forever, Lord
 It feels like it's ten years long
 Hey, but that's okay, this is a honky tonk song
 It's a honky tonk song
 Another honky tonk song
