[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D D/C G/B G
Been beat up and battered 'round
D D/C G/B G
Been sent up, and I've been shot down
C G Em
But you're the best thing that I've ever found
C D G
Handle me with care
[Verse 2]
D D/C G/B G
Reputations changeable
D D/C G/B G
Situations tolerable
C G Em
But baby, you're adorable
C D
Handle me with care
[Middle 8]
G Gaug C D
I'm so tired of being lonely
G Gaug C D
I still have some love to give
G Gaug C D G
Won't you show me that you really care
[Chorus 3]
C G
Everybody's, got somebody, to lean on
C D
Put your body, next to mine, and dream on
[Verse 4]
D D/C G/B G
I've been fobbed off, and I've been fooled
D D/C G/B G
I've been robbed and ridiculed
C G Em
In day care centers and night schools
C D G
Handle me with care
[Solo]
| D D/C | G/B G | D D/C | G/B G |
[Verse 5]
D D/C G/B G
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
D D/C G/B G
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
C G Em
Overexposed, commercialized
C D
Handle me with care
[Middle 8]
G Gaug C D
I'm so tired of being lonely
G Gaug C D
I still have some love to give
G Gaug 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 6]
D D/C G/B G
I've been uptight and made a mess
D D/C G/B G
But I'll clean it up myself, I guess
C G Em
Oh, sweet smell of success
C D G
Handle me with care
