G5                                       D5 
Between the darkness on the street, 
                                E5               C5 
 and the houses filling up with light 
G5                                     D5 
Between the stillness in my heart, 
             E5                                      C5 
 and the roar of the approaching night 
G5                                D5 
Somebody calling after somebody 
                 E5 
 somebody turns a corner out of sight 
C5                     G5  D5                            E5 
Looking for somebody, somewhere in the night

G5        C5           D5  G5  D5  G5 
Tender is the night, 
                              C5     D5    G5 D5 
 when you hold your baby tight 
G5         C5        D5          G5     D5       G5     C5  D5 
Tender are the motions, tender is the night 
G5                                     D5 
Between the life that we expected, 
                           E5           C5 
 and the way it's always been 
                          G5          D5 
 I can't walk back in again, 
                          E5  D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 
 after the way we fight 
G5                                       D5 
 When just outside there are people laughing, 
          E5                       C5 
 living lives we used to lead 
                          G5                    D5 
Chasing down the love they need, 
                            E5  C5  D5 
somewhere in the night 
G5        C5         D5      G5  D5   G5 
Tender is the night, 
                              C5        D5           G5 D5 
 and the benediction of the neon light 
G5        C5            D5       G5   D5            G5  C5 D5 
Tender are the hunters, tender is the night

C5                                    D5 
You're gonna want me tonight, 
                                  C5 
when your ready to surrender, 
                              D5 
Forget about who's right, 
                                     C5 
 when you're ready to remember, 
                              E5 
It's another world at night, 
                                       D5 
 when you're ready to be tender, 
 
Tender,   tender
