Chords
Hey y'all. My name is Mike. I'm a big Billy Joel fan, and everywhere I looked I couldn't
find the chords to this song. So, I took the time to figure it out by ear.
It was a lot of work, as some of the chords in the bridges were quite confusing,
but I think I just about got them all right. Post in the comments and let me know how I did!
Enjoy!
Intro:
EbMaj7 Dm7 Cm7 F Bb
EbMaj7 Dm7 Even though I'm in love Cm7 F Bb Sometimes I get so afraid EbMaj7 Dm7 I'll say something so wrong Cm7 F Bb Just to have something to say Fm Gm G7 I know the moment isn't right Cm7 Bb G# To tell the girl a comical line Ab/G Fm Gm G7 To keep the conversation light Cm7 Bb F I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind EbMaj7 Dm7 But if that's how I feel Cm7 F Bb Then it's the best feeling I've even known EbMaj7 Dm7 It's undeniably real Cm7 F Bb Leave a tender moment alone EbMaj7 Dm7 Yes I know I'm in love Cm7 F Bb But just when I ought to relax EbMaj7 Dm7 I put my foot in my mouth Cm7 F Bb Cause I'm just avoiding the facts Fm Gm G7 If the girl gets too close Cm7 Bb G# If I need some room to escape Ab/G Fm Gm G7 When the moment arose Cm7 Bb F I'd tell her it's all a mistake EbMaj7 Dm7 But that's not how I feel Cm7 F Bb No that's not the woman I've known EbMaj7 Dm7 She's undeniably real Cm7 F Bb So leave a tender moment alone Am But it's not only me D7 EbMaj7 Dm7 Breaking down when the tension gets high Cm7 Em7 A7 Just when I'm in a serious mood Dm7 C#7 Cm7 She is suddenly quiet and shy
Solo follows verse EbMaj7 Dm7 Cm7 F Bb progression
Fm Gm G7 I know the moment isn't right Cm7 Bb G# To hold my emotions inside Ab/G Fm Gm G7 To change the attitude tonight Cm7 Bb F I've run out of places to hide EbMaj7 Dm7 And if that's how I feel Cm7 F Bb Then it's the best feeling I've ever known EbMaj7 Dm7 It's undeniably real Cm7 F Bb Leave a tender moment alone
You got to leave a tender moment alone
Leave a tender moment
Leave it alone
You've got to leave a tender moment
Leave a tender moment alone
