Leave A Tender Moment Alone chords by Billy Joel

Ebmaj7  F
Even though I'm in love
Cm7          Bb
Sometimes I get so afraid
          Ebmaj7  F
I'll say something so wrong
Cm7          Bb
Just to have something to say

Fm  G Bm7
I know the moment isn't right
Cm7        Bb    Ab
To tell the girl a comical line
            Fm  G Bm7
To keep the conversation light
Cm7        Bb    Ab
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind

Ebmaj7  F
But if that's how I feel
Cm7          Bb
Then it's the best feeling I've even known
          Ebmaj7  F
It's undeniably real
Cm7          Bb
Leave a tender moment alone

Ebmaj7  F
Yes I know I'm in love
Cm7          Bb
But just when I ought to relax
          Ebmaj7  F
I put my foot in my mouth
Cm7          Bb
Cause I'm just avoiding the facts

Fm  G Bm7
If the girl gets too close
Cm7        Bb    Ab
If I need some room to escape
            Fm  G Bm7
When the moment arose
Cm7        Bb    Ab
I'd tell her it's all a mistake

Ebmaj7  F
But that's not how I feel
Cm7          Bb
No that's not the woman I've known
          Ebmaj7  F
She's undeniably real
Cm7          Bb
So leave a tender moment alone

Am
But it's not only me
D           Eb   Dm7
Breaking down when the tension gets high
Cm7        G
Just when I'm in a serious mood
D7       F     Bb7  Cm7
She is suddenly quiet and shy

F
Leave a tender moment
Ebmaj7
Leave it alone

Fm  G Bm7
I know the moment isn't right
Cm7        Bb    Ab
To hold my emotions inside
            Fm  G Bm7
To change the attitude tonight
Cm7        Bb    Ab
I've run out of places to hide

Ebmaj7  F
And if that's how I feel
Cm7          Bb
Then it's the best feeling I've even known
          Ebmaj7  F
It's undeniably real
Cm7          Bb
Leave a tender moment alone

Cm7
You got to leave a tender moment alone
F
Leave a tender moment
Ebmaj7
Leave it alone
F
You've got to leave a tender moment
Ebmaj7
Leave a tender moment alone
