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

Cm7
You got to leave a tender moment alone
F
Leave a tender moment
Ebmaj7
Leave it alone
F
You've got to leave a tender moment
Ebmaj7
Leave a tender moment alone
