[G]Tender I re

[Verse 1]
[Em]member,
[G]how[Am] you loved to turn me on
[G]Sweetly so completely,
[Dm]when[Am] you sang your sassy song
Did [G]you have [Am]a lighthouse,
[Dm]Yes,[Am] I'm sure indeed you did
Where [G]you used to take [Am]me,
[Dm]wher[Am]e the family jewels were hid

[Verse 2]
[Am]You said, "Can I, can I, may I,
can I, [F]take you [Am]to the ball"
Take me to the ball
You said, "Can I, can I, love you,
can I, [F]love you [Am]after all"
Take me to the ball

[Verse 3]
The [Am]ball, [G]the[F] ba[Am]ll,[G][Am]

[Verse 4]
There was [Am]sugar [G]sweet as candy,
[Am]ther[Dm]e was[Am] sweetness on your lips
And you sang [G]it in a love [Em]song,
[G]and[Am] confection surely drips
There was laughter [G]and then after,
[Am]when[G] we [Am]could have danced all night
We got [G]into one an[Em]other,
[G]and[Am] I know you know that's right

Take me to the ball

[Verse 6]
I remember how we [Am]danced,
[G]when [Em]you were [Am]mine
How we played "the suite"
romance and [Em]all was [Am]fine
How we always took the
[G]chance [Em]to be divine[Am]
Love was always happening,
love was [G]happening [Am]at the, the ball

[Verse 7]
The [Am]ball was fine- all the time-
trying to blow my mind, baby
Take me to the ball
When we danced- [G]to [F]the[Dm] bea[Am]t-
of a different drummer, baby
Take me [G]to [Am]the ball- play [G]it[Am]

[Verse 8]
I remember how we [Am]danced,
[G]when [Em]you were [Am]mine
