[Intro] G Em Am G [Verse]
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
[Chorus]
            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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
           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
[Bridge]
     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
[Chorus]
           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
[Outro](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
