Billy Joel - Leave a Tender Moment Alone: chords

                   D#maj7 Dm7
Even though I'm in love
Cm7         D#/F   A#
Sometimes I get so afraid
                      D#maj7 Dm7
I'll say something so wrong
Cm7          D#/F         A#
Just to have something to say

                        Fm7 Gaug G7/B
I know the moment isn't right
   Cm7             D#/A#    G#
To tell the girl a comical line
            Cm/G         Fm7 Gaug G7/B
To keep the conversation light
            Cm7             D#/A#
I guess I'm just frightened out of my
F/A
mind

Chorus:
                    D#maj7 Dm7
But if that's how I feel
              Cm7          D#/F
Then it's the best feeling I've ever
 A#
known
                D#maj7 Dm7
It's undeniably real
Cm7            D#/F    A#
Leave a tender moment alone

                  D#maj7 Dm7
Yes I know I'm in love
    Cm7         D#/F     A#
But just when I ought to relax
                    D#maj7 Dm7
I put my foot in my mouth
      Cm7      D#/F         A#
Cause I'm just avoiding the facts

                      Fm7 G+ G7/B
If the girl gets too close
   Cm7         D#/A#     G#
If I need some room to escape
         Cm/G   Fm7 G+ G7/B
When the moment arose
    Cm7           D#/A# F/A
I'd tell her it's all a mistake

Chorus:
                     D#maj7 Dm7
But that's not how I feel
   Cm7            D#/F       A#
No that's not the woman I've known
                 D#maj7 Dm7
She's undeniably real
   Cm7            D#/F   A#
So leave a tender moment alone

                  Am7-5 D7
But it's not only me
                       D#maj7
Breaking down when the tension gets
Dm7 Cm7
high
                  Em7-5 Gm6    A7
Just when I'm in a serious mood
                Dm7       C#m7 Cm7 D#maj7 Dm7
She is suddenly quiet and shy

Cm7             D#/F   A#
(Leave a tender moment alone)
                   D#maj7
Leave a tender moment
          Dm7
Leave it alone
Cm7             D#/F   A#
(Leave a tender moment alone)

I know the moment isn't right
To hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude tonight
I've run out of places to hide

Chorus:
And if that's how I feel
Then it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real, oh
Leave a tender moment alone

Ah (Leave a tender moment alone)
You got to leave a tender moment alone
(Leave a tender moment alone)
Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone
(Leave a tender moment alone)
You've got to leave a tender moment
(Leave a tender moment alone)
