D 
I was in a modern daze 
                                  A     A7 
Of finding all the better ways to be 
Bm 
Then you caught my eye 
B7 
And the world caught on fire 
    Em7                     A7 
And I said "I maybe don't know" 
 

 
D 
You lived in a castle where 
                                   A    A7 
The sun sang out a little prayer a day 
Bm                            B7 
How all of my needs felt like rosary beads 
    Em                          A7 
Oh, millions just there for the show 
 

 
A       N.C.                   G 
I loved the part when you just asked my name and 
Gm                     D 
The choir sang and the roses grew a metaphor as you wait 
         G                     Gm 
Well you knew my stories, though dumb and boring 
     D                              A     N.C. 
You never looked, you never looked away (way, way, way)

Tenderly 
     D   C#   C 
It's how you speak to me 
     C      A            A7                   D              D7 
It's how you say the little lines that keep my mind quiet at night 
D      D7             E            E7 
We can dance though I really can't dance 
         A                 A7 
Though I know you'll still smile 
               D           Bm                G 
Because you're happy to be dancing with your prince 
              A             A7 
Who's got two left feet and clams for hands

A  N.C. 
Darling dear, I know the songs 
     G 
They made you weary 
    Gm 
But feel these feelings 
        D 
They're stronger than a tangible array 
          G                Gm 
Well I'll never know all I feel for you 
     D                               A 
I'll always know that all I feel is true (true, true, true)

It's how you say the little lines that keep my mind quiet at night 
D        D7            E            E7 
We can dance though I really can't dance 
          A                 A7 
Though I know you'll still smile 
                D            Bm                G 
Because you're happy to be dancing with your prince 
              A              A7 
Who's got two left feet and clams 
             D 
Clams for hands
