Tenderly

F C G Am
  Hey
 F C G Am
Ah


[Verse 1]
           F          C
Oh when it rains it always pours
           G              Am
But I have found a friend in no one
          F                  C
Still the dogs they bite and it's 
cold at night
        G              Am
And the sharks deep in the water
        F          C
There's more of us than ever
              G           Am
But we're just lonely all together
         F             C       
So baby, reach out and remind me 
            G
that it's real


[Chorus]
             F     C        G
I need you to love me tenderly
             F         C     
I need you to touch me gentle, 
  G
please
            F        C
'Cause it's cold out there
     Em    Am
It's tough enough
        F    C           G
So baby, love me tenderly

[Verse 2]
          F         C
Oh it's a rollercoaster ride
            G          Am
We all need someone to hold onto
  F            C                 
A friend who understands exactly 
G            Am
what we must be going through
   F             C
If you can trust a stranger
           G                     
The go and reach out, touch your 
Am
neighbour
            F          C          
And do your best to let them know 
            G
they're not alone


[Chorus 2]
                   F     C        G
Why don't you just love me tenderly
                  F         C     
Why don't you just touch me 
  G
gentle, please
            F        C
'Cause it's cold out there
         Em      E7   Am
And they like to play rough
        F    C           G
So baby, love me tenderly


[Bridge]
   F                          
Oh please, just close the door 
             G
behind you, dear
   F                               
Oh don't you let the cold inside of 
G
here
   F
No I don't wanna talk about it
G                Am
Heard just quite enough about it
F                             G
Baby, won't you take me outta here?


[Chorus]
           F       C      G
Come on and love me tenderly
              F       C      
How about you touch me gentle, 
  G
please
            F        C
'Cause it's cold out there
     Em    E7  Am
It's tough enough
         F      C      G
So baby, love me tenderly
                   F   C         G
Why don't you just love me tenderly?
F   C            G
Love me gentle, please
            F        C
'Cause it's cold out there
         Em      E7   Am
And they like to play rough
         F   C         G
So baby, love me tenderly
