Tenderness

	  		Intro F  C  G 

F              C                G            F 
  I don't know when to start or when to stop 
                 C              G               F 
My luck's like a button I can't stop pushing it 
               C         G               F 
My head feels light But I'm still in the dark 
                    C                   G                  
Seems like, without tenderness, there's something missing 

( F  C  G )

Tenderness Where is it? 

             C                 G                    F 
I don't know where I am, but I know I don't like it 
           C                  G                 F 
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful 
             C                   G                  F 
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive 
               C               G               Em 
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence 

Em 
I held your hands 
F               G              Em 
Rings, but none on that finger 
We danced and danced 
           Am                G              Em 
But I was scared to go much further with it 
Just half a chance 
     F             G                 Em 
Make sure that one night you're here 
But next night you're not 
          Am                  G 
It always leaves me searching for a little

                  Em 
Whistling in the graveyard 
                 F 
Calling up your girlfriend 
                        G 
Just trying to make her understand 
                     F 
You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand 
   Em                 
No question (so many questions) 
                         F 
She's going to catch you out, boy 
                 G 
It all seems so underhand 
                                                        A# 
Now she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a man, man 
Madman, madman

When you're sick to death of second best, pet 
Why should the morning always find you unimpressed? 
Is your love like a button? 
You can't stop pushing it? 
Oh, this all night longing can be such a long time
