Well, sticks and stones may break my bones, and turn me black and blue.

If you think you'll break my heart, Honey, I got news for you. (walk-up to "A")
A D7 A
You say you're gonna let me go, Hell I'm as good as gone.
A E A
If you don't want me hangin' 'round, Honey, I ain't hangin' on.
[Chorus]
A D7 A
I'll be holed up in some honky tonk, holdin' someone new.

Gettin' tight, with someone else, the minute you turn loose.
A D7 A
If you're givin' up on all we had, I'll just give up too
A E A
I'll be holed up in some honky tonk, holdin'someone new.
