DCG 2x
[Verse 1]
DCGD
Been beat up and battered 'round,
CGD
been sent up, and I've been shot down
CGEm
You're the best thing that I've ever found;
CDG
handle me with care
[Verse 2]
DCGD
Reputations changeable,
CGD
situations tolerable
CGEm
But baby, you're adorable;
CD
handle me with care
[Bridge]
GB7* CD
I'm so tired of being lonely,
GB7* CD
I still have some love to give
GB7* CDG
Won't you show me that you really care
[Chorus]
CG
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
CD
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 3]
DCGD
I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled,
CGD
I've been robbed and ridiculed
CGEm
In day care centers and night schools;
CDG
handle me with care
[Guitar Solo]
DCGGDCGG
[Verse 4]
DCGD
Been stuck in airports, terrorized,
CGD
sent to meetings, hypnotized
CGEm
Overexposed, commercialized;
CD
handle me with care
[Bridge]
GB7* CD
I'm so tired of being lonely,
GB7* CD
I still have some love to give
GB7* CDG
Won't you show me that you really care
[Chorus]
CG
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
CD
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 5]
CGD
I've been uptight and made a mess,
CGD
but I'll clean it up myself, I guess
CGEm
Oh, the sweet smell of success;
CDG
handle me with care
[Outro]
