     E                Am              E                 Am                  F                Dm            ENow I’m not made for paradise, though I came close the once or twice, but what’s the use of living in the past
     C                 F                    C F G       C                 E              AmBut here we are now standing face to face,         and I’m the one who’s feeling out of place
  E              Am            E               Am                 F              Dm                 GWhat you see is what you get, what I see just makes me sweat, at times like these I can’t take the pace


[Chorus]
 C              F              C              FOh my darling, can’t you see, love has taken hold of me
     C              E                 Am              FAnd turned me into something that I thought I’d never be
   C                F                C             FA nervous wreck, a hopeless case, a worried look upon my face
    C                 Dm                E         C                  G              C  F GIs this the way that love’s supposed to be - now you have laid This Tender Trap for me


[Verse]
      C              F         C   F G       C                   E              AmI’m running just as fast as I can,      but you’re the girl who always gets her man
     E               Am             E               Am                     F             Dm               ENow love may end in happiness, one final word, one last caress, but I’ll never know just how this love began
    C                     F                    C F G      C                    E              AmMy eyes are closed, I’m standing on the brink,       and all this talk could drive a man to drink
 E            Am                     E          Am                 F             Dm              GNothing ever hurt so as much as the power of a woman’s touch, you never give me time enough to think


[Chorus]
 C              F              C              FOh my darling, can’t you see, love has taken hold of me
     C              E                 Am              FAnd turned me into something that I thought I’d never be
 C                F                  C                  FLost for words, short of breath, an empty shell who’s scared to death
    C                 Dm                E         C                  G              C  F GIs this the way that love’s supposed to be - now you have laid This Tender Trap for me


[Bridge]
    G              F                G              FAs long as I have arms to hold you, I know I can never win
    G               F                    G                FAs long as you can see me standing This Tender Trap will pull me in


[Chorus]
 C              F              C              FOh my darling, can’t you see, love has taken hold of me
     C              E                 Am              FAnd turned me into something that I thought I’d never be
 C                F                  C                  FLost for words, short of breath, an empty shell who’s scared to death
    C                 Dm                E         C                  G              C  F GIs this the way that love’s supposed to be - now you have laid This Tender Trap for me
     C                    G             C  F GNow you have closed This Tender Trap on me
