Ya see a pair of laughing eyes,
Fdim

    F#m7                    B7
And suddenly you're sighing sighs.
       E7/9
You're thinkin' nothin's wrong,
    A              Am7        C#7
You string along, boy, then SNAP!
    F#7

Fdim      A    C#7    Am7
  Those  eyes, those sighs,
Fdim      A           Am7  Cdim   E
They're  part of the tender    trap.

You're hand in hand beneath the 
                Fdim
trees,
    F#m7                     
And soon there's music in the 
   B7
breeze.
       E7/9
You're actin' kind of smug
   A             Am7       C#7   F#7
Until your heart just goes WHAP!
Fdim      A    C#7    Am7
 Those  trees, that  breeze,
Fdim    A   Am7    B7   Cdim   E
 They're  part of the tener trap.
Bridge:
E            E7      A          
Some starry night, when her 
    Am7/13  Cdim     C#m
kisses make you tingle,
C#7              A               
She'll hold you tight and you'll 
Am7/6    Cdim    C#7   F#7
hate yourself for    being    
 Cdim  B7
single.
B7   E6                   Fdim
And all at once it seems so nice,
    F#m7                         
The folks are throwin' shoes and 
B7
rice.
     E7/9                  A      
You hurry to a spot that's just a 
    Am7    C#7   F#7
dot on the map.
   Fdim            A            
You wonder how,  but it's too  
C#7         Am7
late now
Fdim    A      Am7     B7       
You    fell in love and love is 
Cdim    B7   E
the tener trap.
