Introduction:
B7 E6 Fº
Ya see a pair of laughing eyes
F#m7 B7
And suddenly you're sighing sighs
E7(9)
You're thinkin' nothin's wrong
A Am7 C#7 F#7
You string along, boy, then snap
Fº A C#7 Am7
Those eyes, those sighs
Fº A Am7 Cº E
They're part of the tender trap
B7 E6 Fº
You're hand in hand beneath the trees,
F#m7 B7
And soon there's music in the breeze
E7(9)
You're actin' kind of smug
A Am7 C#7 F#7
Until your heart just goes whap
Fº A C#7 Am7
Those trees, that breeze
Fº A Am7 B7 CºE
They're part of the tener trap
Bridge
E E7 A Am7(9) Cº C#m
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
C#7 A Am7(9) Cº C#7 F#7 Cº B7
She'll hold you tight and you'll hate yourself for being single
B7 E6 Fº
And all at once it seems so nice
F#m7 B7
The folks are throwin' shoes and rice.
E7(9) A Am7 C#7 F#7
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
Fº A C#7 Am7
You wonder how, but it's too late now
Fº A Am7 B7 Cº B7 E
You fell in love and love is the tener trap
