Tender

Outside

Tender


Tom: Am

Am F

[Chorus]
Am
Hold on a minute
                     F
I don't want to go outside
                        Am
I don't want to face my pride
                                F
There's a limit to how long I can wait
                   G
To how long I can take before I start to show
        F                  G
How close I am to letting go
Am        F
Of myself

[Verse 1]
Am                      G
I've been waiting so, so long
             F
But here we are now
            G
Here we are now
      Am
I will judge myself
              G
Guilty of loving you too much
          F                 G
I will smother you just to feel your touch
Am                           G
I will offer you my whole self, not just my best

[Verse 2]
        F                        G
You can take me as I come or discard me like the rest
Am
Take me by the hand
        G
And show me to the world
         F
I am nothing but a man
          G
You are nothing but a girl

[Pre-Chorus]
       F                                  G
Oh, how long can I take before I start to show
        F                   G
How close I am to letting go
Am                 F
Of myself

[Chorus]
Am
Hold on a minute
                     F
I don't want to go outside
                        Am
I don't want to face my pride
                                F
There's a limit to how long I can wait
                   G
To how long I can take before I start to show
        F                  G
How close I am to letting go
Am
Of myself
