Verse 1:
Am F G Am F G
Just like a celluloid dream she burnt on acetate
Am F G D/F# F G
Stealing every last scene just smouldering away
Am F G Am F G
Tonight the radio said that now you've passed and gone
Am G D/F#
As something deep inside breaks, your memory lingers on
Pre-chorus 1:
Dm G C F
The face of the century, this cruel, twisted destiny
Dm E Am
A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control
Dm G C F
For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly, oh oh oh
Dm E
But how much you mean to me, god only knows
Chorus:
Am F G
Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate
Am F G
Tender is the dream with nothing to say
Dm Am C G F G
Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey
Am F G
Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet
Am F G
Tender is the theme of tears in the rain
Dm Am C G F E
Slender is the knife on the wings of insanity, taking your life away

Verse 2:
Am F G Am F G
They made a suicide claim with no one else to blame
Am F G D/F# F G
I know you must have cried out for help that never came
Am F G Am F G
On just how many broken dreams you built your life upon
Am G D/F#
Remains a mystery and now your suffering has gone
Pre-chorus 2:
Dm G C F
The face of the century, this beautiful entity
Dm E Am
A fatal intensity that crossed beyond control
Dm G C F
For what it appears to be is life taken needlessly, oh oh oh
Dm E
But how much you mean to me, god only knows
Chorus 2:
Am F G
Tender is the night, I'm lost on the interstate
Am F G
Tender is the dream with nothing to say
Dm Am C G F G
Tendrils of light covered whimsical vanity, render the white to grey
Am F G
Tender is the night and soft is the tourniquet

Tender is the theme of tears in the rain
