Billy Joel - Leave a tender moment alone

Even though I'm in l^Ebmaj7ove ^{F Cm7}Sometimes I get so afra^Bbid I'll say something s^Ebmaj7o wrong ^{F Cm7}Just to have something ^Bbto say

I know the moment isn't ^Fmright^{G Bm7 Cm7}To tell the girl a ^Bbcomical li^Abne To keep the conversation^Fm ligh^Gt ^{Bm7 Cm7}I guess I'm just fr^Bbightened o^Abut of my mind

But if that's how I^Ebmaj7 feel ^{F Cm7}Then it's the best feel^Bbing I've even known It's undeniably rea^Ebmaj7l ^{F Cm7}Leave a tender moment a^Bblone

Yes I know I'm in l^Ebmaj7ove ^{F Cm7}But just when I ought t^Bbo relax I put my foot in my^Ebmaj7 mouth ^{F Cm7}Cause I'm just avoiding^Bb the facts

If the girl gets too clo^Fmse ^{G Bm7 Cm7}If I need some room^Bb to escape^Ab When the moment arose ^{Fm G Bm7 Cm7}I'd tell her it's a^Bbll a mista^Abke

But that's not how ^Ebmaj7I feel ^{F Cm7}No that's not the woman^Bb I've known She's undeniably re^Ebmaj7al ^{F Cm7}So leave a tender momen^Bbt alone

But it's not only^Am me ^DBreaking down when the ^Ebtension ^Dm7gets high ^Cm7Just when I'm in a ^Gserious mood ^D7She is suddenly ^Fquiet and ^Bb7shy ^Cm7

^FLeave a tender moment ^Ebmaj7Leave it alone

I know the moment isn't ^Fmright^{G Bm7 Cm7}To hold my emotions^Bb inside ^Ab To change the attitude t^Fmonigh^Gt ^{Bm7 Cm7}I've run out of pla^Bbces to hid^Abe

And if that's how I^Ebmaj7 feel ^{F Cm7}Then it's the best feel^Bbing I've even known It's undeniably rea^Ebmaj7l ^{F Cm7}Leave a tender moment a^Bblone

^Cm7You got to leave a tender moment alone ^FLeave a tender moment ^Ebmaj7Leave it alone ^FYou've got to leave a tender moment ^Ebmaj7Leave a tender moment alone
