You don't play with just the chord tones. They are the center around which you add non chord notes. If I am playing an improv, I will hit what ever notes sound good to my ears,but keep in mind that the strongest notes in a melody are usualy chord tones so I make sure I stay grounded in the melody.
It doesn't matter if there are outside chords from another key or the tune changes key a couple of times. Following the chords always takes you where the tune goes.
