Chris de Burgh - Tender Hands

tender hands

Am
oh how , at the journey’s end ,
Am
i lie in the heat of the night ,
Dm Am
feeling the heartache , wondering why ,
Dm G Am
i want a friend , i want a friend to lay down beside me ,
Dm G Dm
i want a friend , i want her now , someone who knows what i mean ,
G
when i say , that i need

C Am
tender hands to hold me , i need tender hands tonight ,
Dm
will you lay them on my shoulders ,
C G
will you lay them on my eyes ,
C
and i need tender hands to take me ,
Am F C
all the way to paradise , and then , when it’s over ,
Am G C
i need tender hands to hold me through the night;

touch me with your velvet mouth ,
i will give all the love that i have ,
under the moonlight , reaching your heart ,
where are you now , where are you now ,
come out of the shadows ,
where are you now , i want you now ,
you know that i cannot always be strong , and i need

tender hands to hold me , i need tender hands tonight ,
will you lay them on my shoulders ,
will you lay them on my eyes , and i need ,
tender hands to take me all the way to paradise ,
and then , when it’s over , i need tender hands ,
to hold me through the night;

i Am only a voice in a city of noise ,
can you hear me this time ,
i see the storm grow ,
there’s a light in the desert tonight;

and i need tender hands , give me tender hands ,
will you lay them on my shoulders , oh give me ,
tender hands to take me all the way to paradise ,
and then , when it’s over , i have tender hands ,
to hold you through the night , darling ,
my tender hands will hold you through the night;

i want your tender hands , you have tender hands ,
i want those tender hands , tender hands . . .
