Intro
F/// C/G/ (x2)
Verse
[F///]I [C/G/]don't know when to start or when to stop
[F///]My [C/G/]luck's like a button, I can't stop pushing it
[F///]My [C/G/]head feels light but I'm still in the dark
[F///]Seems[C/G/] like without tenderness there's something missing
Chorus
[F///][C/G/]Tenderness, Where is the
[F///][C/G/]Tenderness, Where is it?
Verse
[F///]I [C/G/]don't know where I am but I know, I don't like it
[F///]I [C/G/]open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
[F///]Words[C/G/] are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
[F///]Words[C/G/] like conviction can turn into a sentence
[Em///]I held your hands
[F/G/]Rings but none on that finger
[Em///]We danced and danced
[Am/G/]But I was scared to go much further with it
[Em///]Just half a chance
[F/G/]Make sure that one night you're here
[Em///]But next night you're not
[Am/G/]It always leaves me searching for a little
[CHORUS] (x3)
[G/F/]Tenderness
[C/G/]Where is the Tenderness?
Bridge
[Em///]Whistling in the graveyard
[F///]Calling up your girlfriend
[G///]Just trying to make her understand
[F///]You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
[Em///]No question (So many questions)
[F///]She's going to catch you out boy
[G///]It all seems so underhand
[G///]Now she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a
[Bb///]man, man Madman, madman
