Chris de Burgh - Tender hands

^EmOh how, at the journey's end I lie in the heat of the night Feeling the ^Amheartache, wondering ^Emwhy I want a ^Amfriend, I want a friend To lay down be^Emside me I want a ^Cfriend, I want her now Someone who ^Amknows what I mean when I ^Dsay

That I need ^Gtender hands to hold me, I need ^Etender hands tonight Will you ^Amlay them on my shoulders Will you ^Glay them on my ^Deyes And I need ^Gtender hands to take me All the ^Eway to paradise ^{Am C}Then, when it's ^Gover I need ^Ctender hands to ^Dhold me through the ^Gnight

^EmTouch me with your velvet mouth I will give all the love that I have Under the ^Ammoonlight, reaching your ^Emheart Where are you ^Amnow, where are you now Come out of the ^Emshadows Where are you ^Cnow, I want you now You know that ^AmI cannot always be ^Dstrong

And I need ^Gtender hands to hold me I need ^Etender hands tonight Will you ^Amlay them on my shoulders Will you ^Glay them on my ^Deyes And I need ^Gtender hands to take me All the ^Eway to paradise ^{Am C}Then, when it's ^Gover I need ^Ctender hands to ^Dhold me through the ^Gnight

I am ^Bbonly a voice in a city of noise Can you ^Chear me this time I see the ^Bbstorm grow There's a light in the ^Cdesert to^Gnight

And I need ^Gtender hands Give me ^Etender hands Will you ^Amlay them on my shoulders ^G Oh ^Doh, give me ^Gtender hands to take me All the ^Eway to paradise ^{Am C}Then, when it's ^Gover I have ^Ctender hands to ^Dhold you through the ^Emnight Darling, my ^Ctender hands will ^Dhold you through the ^Gnight

I want your ^Gtender hands^Em You have ^Gtender hands^Em I want those ^Gtender hands ^{Em G}Tender hands ^Em
