Fm G# Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town D# C# We were sweethearts from college she was always around Fm G# D# C# We were good for each other but some things they just don't work out There were tears in my eyes when she walked away We had plans to get married some day But the promises were broken before they were even made Chorus: C# Now I'm dancing with a broken heart Fm G# Ain't no doctor who can make it start C# Fm D# These are the words that I'll never gonna say again C# 'Cause I've given till I've given up Fm G# One more casualty of easy love C# Fm D# These are the words that I'll never gonna say again Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace And I wonder who it is that puts a smile on her face I recall the way she feels and oh I recall the way she tastes If I could hold her now then all that I'd see'd Remind me of childhood memories She was the first day of summer Yeah that girl, that girl's for me Chorus Fm Fm7 And these are the words that I say to your picture Fm Fm7 These are the words that I say in a dream Fm Fm7 These are the words that I wish I'd said to you Fm D# When you were standing here next to me Chorus: Because I've given till I've given up One more casualty of easy love These are the words that I'll never gonna say again Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart Ain't no doctor who can make it start These are the words that I'll never gonna say again Now I'm dancing with a broken heart Ain't no doctor who can make it start These are the words that I'll never gonna say again You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#  D#  Fm  Fm7  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
