Billy Joel - Leave A Tender Moment Alone Chords

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
