Love Is The Tender Trap
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1959
From the 1959 movie "The Tender Trap"
B7 E6 Fdim(III)
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!
Fdim(III) A C#7 Am7
Those eyes, those sighs,
Fdim(III) A Am7 Cdim E
They're part of the ten - der trap.
B7 E6 Fdim(III)
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!
Fdim(III) A C#7 Am7
Those trees, that breeze,
Fdim(III) A Am7 B7 Cdim E
They're part of the ten - der trap.
Bridge:
E E7 A Am7/6 Cdim C#m
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle,
C#7 A Am7/6 Cdim C#7 F#7 Cdim B7
She'll hold you tight and you'll hate yourself for be - ing sin - gle.
B7 E6 Fdim(III)
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.
Fdim(III) A C#7 Am7
You wonder how, but it's too late now
Fdim(III) A Am7 B7 Cdim B7 E
You fell in love and love is the ten - der trap.
