Tender was my lover [Ab] from the suburbs of town.
We [Eb] were sweethearts in college.
[Fm] She was always around.
We were good for each other, [Ab] but some things really just don't [Eb] work out.
[Fm]
There were tears in my [Ab] eyes when she walked away.
[Eb] We'd had plans to [Db] get married someday, [Fm] but the promises were broken [Ab] before they were [Eb] even made.
[C]
Now [Db] I'm dancing with a broken heart.
Ain't [Fm] no doctor who can make it [Ab] stop.
And these [Db] are the words that I'm never [F] gonna say [Fm] again.
[Eb]
Cause [Db] I've given till I've given up.
One [Fm] more casualty of easy [Ab] love.
These [Db] are the words that I'm never gonna say [Fm] again.
[Eb]
[Fm] Tender was my lover, [Ab] but I miss her embrace [Eb] and I wonder who it is.
[Fm] It's the smile on her face.
I recall the way she [Ab] feels, oh, and I recall the way [Eb] she tastes.
[Fm]
If I could hold her now, [Ab] then all that I see [Eb] would remind me of childhood [Fm] memories.
She was the first day of summer, [Ab] yeah, that girl, that [Eb] girl's for me.

These are [Bbm] the words that I wished I said to you when you [Fm] were standing here next [Eb] to me.
Cause [Db] I've given till I've given up.
One [Fm] more casualty of easy [Ab] love.
