Tender Heart chords by Lionel Richie

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:

F-F-Dm-Dm
(You can hammer on the open G string to the second fret before strumming the F

Verse 1:

F                 Dm
Every night and every day my heart feels the pain
 F                  Dm
I wake up to the thought of you and I call your name

Brige 1:

Bb              C    Dm
No one ever made me feel the way you do
Bb                C   Dm
Nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you
  Bb         C
But now I've got to let go

Chorus:
     F
We don't stand a chance
             Dm
In this wild romance, my tender heart
          Bb
Maybe it's wiser to walk away and love again
    C
With my tender heart.
     F
We don't stand a chance
             Dm
In this wild romance, oh it hurts so bad
             Bb
Knowing that I'm not the one you want
          C
I can't hold on to my tender heart

Verse 2.

 F                   Dm
I never thought I'd be the one who would play the fool
  F                  Dm
But I know love can feel so good and can be so cruel

Bridge 2:

Bb               C   Dm
It's clear to me the writing is on the wall
Bb                   C     Dm
It's clear to me that you don't really love me at all
Bb           C
And I can't go on this way

(Chorus)

Interlude:

Gm         Am
I'm standing at the door
Gm         Am
Don't need this hurt no more
Gm        Am
I'm crying out in vain
        C
Cause you don't feel my pain.

(Solo)

Bridge 3:
Bb              C    Dm
Maybe it was always going to be this way
Bb              C     Dm
Maybe I'll look back and understand some day
Bb         C
But now I've got to say
