Leave A Tender Moment Alone

	  		

                   Ebmaj7   F 
Even though I'm in love 
Cm7                    Bb 
Sometimes I get so afraid 
                    Ebmaj7   F 
I'll say something so wrong 
Cm7                    Bb 
Just to have something to say 

                        Fm   G  Bm7 
I know the moment isn't right 
Cm7                Bb        Ab 
To tell the girl a comical line 
                        Fm   G  Bm7 
To keep the conversation light 
Cm7                Bb        Ab 
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind 

                   Ebmaj7   F 
But if that's how I feel 
Cm7                    Bb 
Then it's the best feeling I've even known 
                   Ebmaj7   F 
It's undeniably real 
Cm7                    Bb 
Leave a tender moment alone 

                   Ebmaj7   F 
Yes I know I'm in love 
Cm7                    Bb 
But just when I ought to relax 
                   Ebmaj7   F 
I put my foot in my mouth 
Cm7                    Bb 
Cause I'm just avoiding the facts 

                        Fm   G  Bm7 
If the girl gets too close 
Cm7                Bb        Ab 
If I need some room to escape 
                        Fm   G  Bm7 
When the moment arose 
Cm7                Bb        Ab 
I'd tell her it's all a mistake 

                   Ebmaj7   F 
But that's not how I feel 
Cm7                    Bb 
No that's not the woman I've known 
                   Ebmaj7   F 
She's undeniably real 
Cm7                    Bb 
So leave a tender moment alone 

                 Am 
But it's not only me 
D                      Eb      Dm7 
Breaking down when the tension gets high 
Cm7                G 
Just when I'm in a serious mood 
D7              F         Bb7   Cm7 
She is suddenly quiet and shy 

F 
Leave a tender moment 
Ebmaj7 
Leave it alone 

                        Fm   G  Bm7 
I know the moment isn't right 
Cm7                Bb        Ab 
To hold my emotions inside 
                        Fm   G  Bm7 
To change the attitude tonight 
Cm7                Bb        Ab 
I've run out of places to hide 

                   Ebmaj7   F 
And if that's how I feel 
Cm7                    Bb 
Then it's the best feeling I've even known 
                   Ebmaj7   F 
It's undeniably real 
Cm7                    Bb 
Leave a tender moment alone

Leave a tender moment 
Ebmaj7 
Leave it alone 
F 
You've got to leave a tender moment 
Ebmaj7 
Leave a tender moment alone
