(intro 2x) Em G D C 

Em                           G 
Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town 
        D                                 C 
We were sweet hearts 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               D 
There were tears in my eyes when she walked away 
                    C 
We had plans to get married some day 
        Em                   G                     D    B 
But the promises were broken before they were even made 

        C 
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart 
      D  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 
    D    Em                 G 
One more casualty of easy love 
              C                               D Em  D 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 

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 oh 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 child hood memories 
            Em                        G                          D  B 
She was the first day of summer, yeah that girl, that girl's for me 

        C 
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart 
      D  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 
    D    Em                 G 
One more casualty of easy love 
              C                               D Em  D 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 

                  Em 
And these are the words that I say to your picture 

These are the words that I say in a dream 

These are the words that I wish I'd said to you 
                                    D 
When you were standing here next to me 

            C 
'Cause I've given till I've given up 
    D    Em                 G 
One more casualty of easy love 
              C                               D Em  D 
These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 
        C 
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart 
      D  Em                        G 
Ain't no doctor who can make it start

These are the words that I'll never gonna say again 

        C 
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart 
      D  Em                        G
