Em          B 
Tender as a loose tooth

Askew at the root

My love

You came up swinging

Every morning

Through it all 
 
Chorus
Am 
Tender is a kiss 
      Em 
While the dancers dip and twist 
      G             B 
Under lights in the darkness

Tender, as a shadow

So fast to follow 
                 Cmaj7 
A swallow to the summer 
                 B 
Tethered, like a mirror image 
          Em 
A cup and string message 
          Cmaj7  B 
One to the other

Am 
Tender is a kiss 
      Em 
While the dancers dip and twist

  We take the long way round again
