(1st Verse) I have a heart that's proud you bet.
I have a mind that [Bb]won't forget,
And I have arms that are s[C]trong and yet, tender when they want to [F]be.
[Bb] You can [C]be the will that f[F]inds the way,
You can be the one who s[Bb]aves the day,
But show me tender when its's t[C]ime to say. Exactly how it ought to [F]be.
(Chorus) And I never would have [Gm]known it Dar,[C]
If I hadn't k[F]nown about you. [Am]
You said everyone can [Bb]be a rock and, roll like a r[C]iver too.
(STOP) F
(2nd Verse) Well something happens when you find someone
Makes you feel like you can [Bb]do no wrong.
You don't have to take the [Gm]whole world [Am]on,
Just be t[Bb]ender when you want to [F]be.[Bb] Sha La La La La La [F]La

(Chorus) And I never would have [Gm]known it Babe,
If I hadn't k[Am]nown about you.
You said everyone can [Bb]be a rock and, roll like a r[C]iver too.
(3rd V.) So let the waters carry [F]us away, wave goodbye to the [Bb]old parade.
Baby when we're u[C]nafraid, to be tender when we want to [F]be.
[Bb]All the waters wash our c[F]ares away, all that we can see are b[Bb]etter days.
Don't ever let me [Gm]hesita[Am]te, to be [Bb]tender when I want to [F]be.[F/C]
