I have a heart that's proud, you bet

G G C F - G

That I have arms that are strong yet tender when they wanna be

You can be the one who saves the day

G G C C

But show me tender when it's time to say exactly how it oughta be

Dm7 G

And I never would've known it, darlin'

C C/E

If I hadn't known about you

F F G G [stop]

You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

Well something happens when you find someone

Makes you feel like you can do no wrong

You don't have to take the whole world on, just be tender when you wanna be

C C F F G G C C

[baritone guitar solo]

And I never would've known it baby

If I hadn't known about you

You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

So let the waters carry us away

Wave goodbye to the old parade

Baby, when we're unafraid to be tender when we wanna be

All the waters wash our cares away

All that we can see are better days

Don't ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be

C F - G C F - G

Sha la la la la laa laaa, sha la la la laa laaa

C F - G C C.

Sha la la la la laa laaa
