Lionel Richie - Tender Heart

intro :

F – F – Dm – Dm
( you can hammer on the open G string to the second fret before strumming the F
chord to get the embellishment of the original song )

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 :

A# C Dm
no one ever made me feel the way you do
A# C Dm
nothing in this world i wouldn’t do for you
A# 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
A#
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
A#
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 :

A# C Dm
it’s clear to me the writing is on the wall
A# C Dm
it’s clear to me that you don’t really love me at all
A# 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 :
A# C Dm
maybe it was always going to be this way
A# C Dm
maybe i’ll look back and understand some day
A# C
but now i’ve got to say

( chorus )
