Tender To The Blues

Capo 1st fret

Bm A G Bm
Before I jump ship, for cooler shores, may I gently close this account of ours?
E Bm G F#
Through all that I know and have loved is inside, I�m just losing faith in these costly times.
Bm A G Bm
And I pray for your health and your peace of mind but God must now I just want you by my side.

E Bm G F#
And the mornings I�ve woken and sought your warmth, If only I�d held you and told you before

E E7


Bm F# A E Bm A E
But I�m no fool, my heart's just exposed, I�m just weathering the flows
Bm F# A E Bm A E
And I�m not the man you thought, I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues


Bm A G Bm
And you phone me to tell me, of these regrets of yours, But I�ve been lying awake until
the small small hours
E Bm G F#
And the wise men say I should fight for my cause But I�m all punched out and just so so tired.

E E7 F#


Bm F# A E Bm A E
But I�m no fool, my heart's just exposed, I�m just weathering the flows
Bm F# A E Bm A E
And I�m not the man you thought, I suppose, you leave me tender to the blues
