Tender Hands

G Em Am G Em Oh how, at the journey's end I lie in the heat of the night Am Em Feeling the heartache, wondering why Am I want a friend, I want a friend Em To lay down beside me C I want a friend, I want her now Am D Someone who knows what I mean when I say G That I need tender hands to hold me, E I need tender hands tonight Am Will you lay them on my shoulders G D Will you lay them on my eyes G And I need tender hands to take me E Am All the way to paradise C G Then, when it's over C D G I need tender hands to hold me through the night Em Touch me with your velvet mouth I will give all the love that I have Am Em Under the moonlight, reaching your heart Am Where are you now, where are you now Em Come out of the shadows C Where are you now, I want you now Am D You know that I cannot always be strong G And I need tender hands to hold me E I need tender hands tonight Am Will you lay them on my shoulders G D Will you lay them on my eyes G And I need tender hands to take me E Am All the way to paradise C G Then, when it's over C D G I need tender hands to hold me through the night Bb I am only a voice in a city of noise C Can you hear me this time Bb I see the storm grow C G There's a light in the desert tonight G And I need tender hands E Give me tender hands Am G Will you lay them on my shoulders D G Oh oh, give me tender hands to take me E Am All the way to paradise C G Then, when it's over C D Em I have tender hands to hold you through the night C D G Darling, my tender hands will hold you through the night (fade toward end) G Em I want your tender hands G Em You have tender hands G Em I want those tender hands G Em Tender hands
