Tender Heart chords by Lionel Richie

• Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:

F-F-Dm-Dm
(You can hammer on the open G string to the second fret before strumming the F
chord to get the embellishment of the original song)

Verse 1:

F                                  Dm
Every night and every day my heart feels the pain
  F                                   Dm
I wake up to the thought of you and I call your name

Brige 1:

Bb                           C       Dm
No one ever made me feel the way you do
Bb                               C      Dm
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
    Bb                  C
But now I've got to let go

Chorus:
         F
We don't stand a chance
                         Dm
In this wild romance, my tender heart
                    Bb
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
        C
With my tender heart.
         F
We don't stand a chance
                         Dm
In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad
                         Bb
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
                   C
I can't hold on to my tender heart

Verse 2.

  F                                      Dm
I never thought I'd be the one who would play the fool
    F                                    Dm
But I know love can feel so good and can be so cruel

Bridge 2:

Bb                              C      Dm
It's clear to me the writing is on the wall
Bb                                     C          Dm
It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all
Bb                     C
And I can't go on this way

(Chorus)

Interlude:

Gm                  Am
I'm standing at the door
Gm                  Am
Don't need this hurt no more
Gm                Am
I'm crying out in vain
                C
Cause you don't feel my pain.

(Solo)

Bridge 3:
Bb                           C       Dm
Maybe it was always going to be this way
Bb                            C          Dm
Maybe I'll look back and understand some day
Bb                  C
But now I've got to say
