Eb5   F5
Even though I'm in love
C5                    Bb5
Sometimes I get so afraid
                    Eb5   F5
I'll say something so wrong
C5                    Bb5
Just to have something to say

                        F5   G5  B5
I know the moment isn't right
C5                Bb5        Ab5
To tell the girl a comical line
                        F5   G5  B5
To keep the conversation light
C5                Bb5        Ab5
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind

                   Eb5   F5
But if that's how I feel
C5                    Bb5
Then it's the best feeling I've even known
                   Eb5   F5
It's undeniably real
C5                    Bb5
Leave a tender moment alone

                   Eb5   F5
Yes I know I'm in love
C5                    Bb5
But just when I ought to relax
                   Eb5   F5
I put my foot in my mouth
C5                    Bb5
Cause I'm just avoiding the facts

                        F5   G5  B5
If the girl gets too close
C5                Bb5        Ab5
If I need some room to escape
                        F5   G5  B5
When the moment arose
C5                Bb5        Ab5
I'd tell her it's all a mistake

                   Eb5   F5
But that's not how I feel
C5                    Bb5
No that's not the woman I've known
                   Eb5   F5
She's undeniably real
C5                    Bb5
So leave a tender moment alone

                 A5
But it's not only me
D5                      Eb5      D5
Breaking down when the tension gets high
C5                G5
Just when I'm in a serious mood
D5              F5         Bb5   C5
She is suddenly quiet and shy

F5
Leave a tender moment
Eb5
Leave it alone

                        F5   G5  B5
I know the moment isn't right
C5                Bb5        Ab5
To hold my emotions inside
                        F5   G5  B5
To change the attitude tonight
C5                Bb5        Ab5
I've run out of places to hide

                   Eb5   F5
And if that's how I feel
C5                    Bb5
Then it's the best feeling I've even known
                   Eb5   F5
It's undeniably real
C5                    Bb5
Leave a tender moment alone

C5
You got to leave a tender moment alone
F5
Leave a tender moment
Eb5
Leave it alone
F5
You've got to leave a tender moment
Eb5
Leave a tender moment alone
