Intro:     (x2)
VERSE1:
   Em                           G
   Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town
              D                             C
   We were sweethearts from college she was always around
           Em                      G                                D      C
   We were good for each other but some things they just don't work out
              Em                    G
   There were tears in my eyes when she walked away
 D                     C
   We had plans to get married some day
           Em                      G                    D       B
   But the promises were broken before they were even made:
CHOURS:
            C
   Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
            Em                        G
   Ain't no doctor who can make it start
                 C                           D    Em    D
   These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
               C
   'Cause I've given till I've given up
             Em                 G
   One more casualty of easy love
                 C                           D    Em    D
   These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
VERSE2:
   Em                         G
   Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace
          D                            C
   And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face
       Em                         G                      D      C
   I recall the way she feels and I recall the way she tastes
               Em                G
   If I could hold her now then all that I'd see'd
     D                   C
   remind me of childhood memories
               Em                        G                          D    B
   She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl's for me
CHOURS:
        C
   Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
            Em                        G
   Ain't no doctor who can make it start
                 C                           D    Em    D
   These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

BRIDGE:
                     Em                        Em7
   And these are the words that I say to your picture
                  Em                    Em7
   These are the words that I say in a dream
                  Em                    Em7
   These are the words that I wish I'd said to you
                  Em                   D
   When you were standing here next to me
CHOURS:
               C
   'Cause I've given till I've given up
             Em                 G
   One more casualty of easy love
                 C                           D    Em    D
   These are the words that I'll never gonna say again

   Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
            Em                        G
   Ain't no doctor who can make it start
                 C                           D    Em    D
   These are the words that I'll never gonna say again
    C
   Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
            Em                        G
