Tender Is The Night

A                         D      
I knew him as a gentle young man
             A

                            E    
I cannot say for sure the reasons 
           D                   A
for his decline
A                                
We watched him fade before our 
D                         A
very eyes
E
And years before his time
F#m                            D
And years before his time

A                  D             
Surrounded himself with shiny 
             A
things
                E                  
First night tickets, ermine, pearls
     D                        A
 upon a string
A                        
And disappeared in all the 
    D                A
pestilence
E
That sudden pleasure brings
F#m                               

    D

E
He never asks after her anymore
        Bm                   
He made a point of losing her 
D                F#m
address
         E                     
And every trinket that she ever 
  G                   D
touched

                    D
He keeps locked away
                 D                 
And just burns up in the furnace of
        D
 his chest
               A                   
Well I spoke to a man who says he's
              E
 done it all
                 A                 
And the only thing that pleases or 
                 D
excites him now
      A          E             
Is hurting, hurting then hurting 
                            A
some more
                A               
There's someone I want to forget 
                     E
tonight
                   F#m          
Don't you want to forget someone 
                    D
too?
  A                  E            
I left him, and I can leave you 
           A
too


                         D
Baby let's go out tonight
                                  A
It will all turn out all right I'm 
sure
Don't want to drink at home again 
    D
tonight
                 A
So let's go out
              D
Let's go out tonight
                          A
It's getting dark earlier now
                 D                 
But where you are it's just getting
                    A
 light
            D                
Where you are it will just be 
                        A
getting light

D                 A

                         D
