D C G 2x
[Verse 1]
D C G D
Been beat up and battered 'round,
C G D
been sent up, and I've been shot down
C G Em
You're the best thing that I've ever found;
C D G
handle me with care
[Verse 2]
D C G D
Reputations changeable,
C G D
situations tolerable
C G Em
But baby, you're adorable;
C D
handle me with care
[Bridge]
G B7* C D
I'm so tired of being lonely,
G B7* C D
I still have some love to give
G B7* C D G
Won't you show me that you really care
[Chorus]
C G
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
C D
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 3]
D C G D
I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled,
C G D
I've been robbed and ridiculed
C G Em
In day care centers and night schools;
C D G
handle me with care
[Guitar Solo]
D C G G D C G G
[Verse 4]
D C G D
Been stuck in airports, terrorized,
C G D
sent to meetings, hypnotized
C G Em
Overexposed, commercialized;
C D
handle me with care
[Bridge]
G B7* C D
I'm so tired of being lonely,
G B7* C D
I still have some love to give
G B7* C D G
Won't you show me that you really care
[Chorus]
C G
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
C D
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 5]
C G D
I've been uptight and made a mess,
C G D
but I'll clean it up myself, I guess
C G Em
Oh, the sweet smell of success;
C D G
handle me with care
