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,
Intro:
EbMaj7 Dm7 Cm7 F Bb
Even though I'm in EbMaj7loveDm7  
Cm7Sometimes I gFet so aBbfraid
I'll say something EbMaj7so wrongDm7  
Cm7Just to have FsomethBbing to say
I know the moment isn't FmrightGm  G7  
To Cm7tell the girl a Bbcomical G#line
Ab/GTo keep the conversation FmlighGmtG7  
I gCm7uess I'm just frBbightened out of my Fmind
But if that's how I EbMaj7feelDm7  
Then it's the Cm7best feeling FI've evBben known
It's undeniably EbMaj7realDm7  
Cm7Leave a tender Fmoment aloBbne
Yes I know I'm in lEbMaj7oveDm7  
But juCm7st when I oFught to Bbrelax
I put my foot in my EbMaj7mouthDm7  
Cause Cm7I'm just avoidiFng the facBbts
If the girl gets too cFmloseGm  G7  
If Cm7I need some rBboom to G#escape
Ab/GWhen the moment aFmroseGm  G7  
I'd Cm7tell her it's Bball a mFistake
But that's not how I EbMaj7feelDm7  
No tCm7hat's not the Fwoman I've knoBbwn
She's undeniably rEbMaj7ealDm7  
So lCm7eave a tender Fmoment alBbone
But it's not only Amme
D7Breaking down when thEbMaj7e tension gets hDm7igh
Cm7Just when I'm in a sEm7erious moodA7  
She is suddenly qDm7uiet and sC#7hyCm7  
Solo follows verse EbMaj7   Dm7   Cm7   F   Bbprogression
I know the moment isn't rFmightGm  G7  
To Cm7hold my emoBbtions insG#ide
To cAb/Ghange the attitude toFmnightGm  G7  
Cm7I've run out of Bbplaces to hiFde
And if that's how I EbMaj7feelDm7  
Then it's the Cm7best feeling IF've ever kBbnown
It's undeniably EbMaj7realDm7  
LCm7eave a tender Fmoment aloBbne
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
