Verse 1:
            Am                  F        G  Am     F      G
Just like a celluloid dream she burnt on acetate 
         Am                    F    G       D/F#   F      G
Stealing every last scene just smouldering away 
            Am              F          G          Am     F      G
Tonight the radio said that now you've passed and gone 
             Am                       G              D/F#
As something deep inside breaks, your memory lingers on 

Pre-chorus 1:
                Dm      G                    C         F
The face of the century, this cruel, twisted destiny 
          Dm           E                 Am
A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control 
             Dm          G              C                 F
For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly, oh oh oh 
                 Dm                   E
But how much you mean to me, god only knows 

Chorus:
Am                       F           G
Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate
Am                       F          G 
Tender is the dream with nothing to say
Dm                        Am                C          G        F      G 
Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey 
Am                      F           G
Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet
Am                     F            G 
Tender is the theme of tears in the rain
Dm                          Am                 C           G     F      E 
Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity, taking your life away 

Verse 2:
            Am                 F      G       Am     F      G
They made a suicide claim with no one else to blame 
           Am                      F         G     D/F#    F     G
I know you must have cried out for help that never came 
            Am                     F          G     Am     F     G
On just how many broken dreams you built your life upon 
          Am                   G             D/F#     
Remains a mystery and now your suffering has gone 

Pre-chorus 2:
                Dm      G               C         F
The face of the century, this beautiful entity
          Dm           E                 Am
A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control 
             Dm          G              C                 F
For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly, oh oh oh 
                 Dm                   E
But how much you mean to me, god only knows 

Chorus 2:
Am                       F           G
Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate
Am                       F          G 
Tender is the dream with nothing to say
Dm                        Am                C          G        F      G 
Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey 
Am                      F           G
Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet
Am                     F            G 
Tender is the theme of tears in the rain
Dm                          Am                 C           G     F      
Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity, taking your life away
E              Am       
...as cruel as love is
