Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Bm][Am][D][G]
[C][Bm][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Even though I'm in [C]love[Bm]
[Am]Sometimes, I [D]get so a[G]fraid
I'll say something so [C]wrong[Bm]
[Am]Just to have [D]something to [G]say

[Pre-chorus 1]
I know the moment isn't [Dm]right[E]
To [Am]tell the girl a comical [F]line
To keep the [C]conversation [Dm]light[E]
I guess I'm [Am]just frightened out of my [D]mind

[Chorus 1]
But if that's how I [C]feel[Bm]
Then, it's the [Am]best feeling [D]I've ever [G]known
It's undeniably [C]real[Bm]
[Am]Leave a tender [D]moment a[G]lone

[Verse 2]
Yes, I know I'm in [C]love[Bm]
But [Am]just when I [D]ought to re[G]lax
I put my foot in my [C]mouth[Bm]
'Cause [Am]I'm just av[D]oiding the f[G]acts

[Chorus 2]
If the girl gets too [Dm]close[E]
If [Am]I need some room to escap[F]e
When the [C]moment a[Dm]rose[E]
I'd [Am]tell her, it's all a mis[D]take

[Chorus 3]
But that's not how I [C]feel[Bm]
No, [Am]that's not the [D]woman I've [G]known
She's undeniably [C]real[Bm]
So [Am]leave a tender [D]moment a[G]lone

[Bridge 1]
But it's not only [F#m]me
[B]Breaking down
when the [C]tension gets [G]high
[Am]Just when I'm in a serio[C#m]us mood
[F#]She is suddenly quie[Bm]t and shy[Bb][Am]

[Solo 1]
[C][Bm]
[Am](Leave a tender [D]moment alone)
[G]Leave a tender moment
[C]Leave it alo[Bm]ne
[Am](Leave a tender [D]moment a[G]lone)

[Pre-chorus 2]
I know the moment isn't [Dm]right[E]
To [Am]hold my emotions in[F]side
To change the [C]attitude to[Dm]night[E]
I've [Am]run out of places to [D]hide

[Interlude 1]
And if that's how I [C]feel[Bm]
Then, it's the [Am]best feeling [D]I've even [G]known
It's undeniably [C]real[Bm]
Oh, [Am]leave a tender [D]moment a[G]lone

[Outro 1]
[C]Ahh [Bm]ahh
[Am](Leave a tender [D]moment alone)
[G]Leave a tender moment a[C]lone[Bm]
[Am](Leave a tender [D]moment alone)
[G]Leave a tender moment
[Fade out]
