Tuning:

Hey y'all. My name is Mike. I'm a big Billy Joel fan, and everywhere I looked I couldn't find the chords to this song. So, I took the time to figure it out by ear. It was a lot of work, as some of the chords in the bridges were quite confusing, but I think I just about got them all right. Post in the comments and let me know how I did! Enjoy! Intro: EbMaj7 Dm7 Cm7 F Bb

Even though I'm in ^EbMaj7love ^Dm7 ^Cm7Sometimes I g^Fet so a^Bbfraid I'll say something ^EbMaj7so wrong ^Dm7 ^Cm7Just to have^F someth^Bbing to say

I know the moment isn't ^Fmright^Gm ^G7 To ^Cm7tell the girl a ^Bbcomical^G# line ^Ab/GTo keep the conversation^Fm ligh^Gmt ^G7 I g^Cm7uess I'm just fr^Bbightened out of my ^Fmind

But if that's how I^EbMaj7 feel ^Dm7 Then it's the ^Cm7best feeling ^FI've ev^Bben known It's undeniably ^EbMaj7real ^Dm7 ^Cm7Leave a tender ^Fmoment alo^Bbne

Yes I know I'm in l^EbMaj7ove ^Dm7 But ju^Cm7st when I o^Fught to^Bb relax I put my foot in my ^EbMaj7mouth ^Dm7 Cause ^Cm7I'm just avoidi^Fng the fac^Bbts

If the girl gets too c^Fmlose ^Gm ^G7 If ^Cm7I need some r^Bboom to ^G#escape ^Ab/GWhen the moment a^Fmrose ^Gm ^G7 I'd ^Cm7tell her it's ^Bball a m^Fistake

But that's not how I ^EbMaj7feel ^Dm7 No t^Cm7hat's not the ^Fwoman I've kno^Bbwn She's undeniably r^EbMaj7eal ^Dm7 So l^Cm7eave a tender ^Fmoment al^Bbone

But it's not only^Am me ^D7Breaking down when th^EbMaj7e tension gets h^Dm7igh ^Cm7Just when I'm in a s^Em7erious mood ^A7 She is suddenly q^Dm7uiet and s^C#7hy ^Cm7

Solo follows verse EbMaj7 Dm7 Cm7 F Bb progression

I know the moment isn't r^Fmight ^Gm ^G7 To ^Cm7hold my emo^Bbtions ins^G#ide To c^Ab/Ghange the attitude to^Fmnight^Gm ^G7 ^Cm7I've run out of ^Bbplaces to hi^Fde

And if that's how I^EbMaj7 feel ^Dm7 Then it's the ^Cm7best feeling I^F've ever k^Bbnown It's undeniably ^EbMaj7real ^Dm7 L^Cm7eave a tender ^Fmoment alo^Bbne

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
