LEAVE A TENDER MOMENT ALONE
By: Billy Joel
Key: Bb
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5-5*4-3*
Ev-en though I’m in love
-3* -3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
Some-times I get so a-fraid
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5-5*4-3*
I’ll say some-thing so wrong
3 -3* -3* -3* 4 -5 -3*
Just to have some-thing to say
-2 -3* 4 -5 -6 7 -6 7*-7*7*7-6
I know the mo-ment is-n’t right
3 -6 -5* -5* -5 -5* -6 -5 4
To tell the girl a com-ic-al line
-3* 4 -3* 4 -5 -6 7 7*-7*7*7-6
To keep the con-ver-sa-tion light
3 -6 -5* -6 -5* -5 -5* -6 -5 4
I guess I’m just fright-ened out of my mind
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5-5*-54-3*
But if that’s how I feel
3 -3* 3 -3* -3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
Then it’s the best feel-ing I’ve ev-er known
-2 -2 3 -3* 4 -5 -575-3*
It’s un-de-ni-a-bly real
3 -3*-3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -3*
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5-5*4-3*
Yes I know I’m in love
3 -3* -3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
But just when I ought to re-lax
-2 -2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
I put my foot in my mouth
3 3-3* -3* -3*-3* 4 -5 -3*
Cause I’m just a-void-ing the facts
-3* 4 -5 -6 7-6 7*-7*7*7-6
If the girl gets too close
3 -6-5* -5* -5 -5* -6 -5 4
If I need some room to es-cape
4 -3* 4 -5* -6 7*-7*7*7-6
When the mo-ment a- rose
-5* -6 -5* -5 -5* -6 -5 4
I’d tell her it’s all a mis-take
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5-5*-54-3*
But that’s not how I feel
3 -3* -3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
No that’s not the wom-an I’ve known
-2 -2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
She’s un-de-ni-a-bly real
3 3 -3*-3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
So leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -54
But it’s not on-ly me
4 -5 -5* -5 4 4 -3* -3 3
Break-ing down when the ten-sion gets high
-3* -3* 4 -3*-3 -3 3 -2* 3
Just when I’m in a ser-i-ous mood
3 -3 -3* -3 3 3 -2 2 -2
She is sud-den-ly qui-et and shy
3 -3*-3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
Leave a ten-der mo-ment
-2 -3* 4 -5 -6 7 -6 7*-7*7*7-6
I know the mo-ment is-n’t right
3 -6-5*-5*-5 -5* -6 -5 4
To hold my e-mo-tions in-side
-3* 4 -3* 4 -5* -6 7 7*-7*7*7-6
To change the at-ti-tude to- night
-5* -6 -5* -5 -5* -6 -5 4
I’ve run out of plac-es to hide
-2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5-5*-54-3*
And if that’s how I feel
3 -3* 3 -3* -3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
Then it’s the best feel-ing I’ve ev-er known
-2 -2 3 -3* 4 -5 -5
It’s un-de-ni-a-bly real
3 -3*-3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -3*
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
3 -3*-3* 3 -3* 4 -5 -3*
Leave a ten-der mo-ment a-lone
