TENDER WHEN I WANT TO BE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5. Each chord is half a measure, except two chords
joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.]
[In MCC's 1995 tour, she performed a version of this song that was straight
rock 'n' roll. That version had pretty much the same chords, except the
bridge (the part with "I never would have known it...") used Dm Dm Em Em
rather than Dm7 G C C/E.]

That I have arms that are strong yet tender when they wanna be

You can be the one who saves the day

But show me tender when it's time to say exactly how it oughta be
Dm7 G
And I never would've known it, darlin'
C C/E
If I hadn't known about you
F F G G [stop]
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
Well something happens when you find someone
Makes you feel like you can do no wrong
You don't have to take the whole world on, just be tender when you wanna be
