Handle With Care by The Traveling Wilburys

Handle with care


(Intro)D	D/C	G/B	G (x2)
(see below for tab)


(Verse)
 D       D/C      G/B       G
Been beat up and battered around
 D      D/C          G/B        G
Been set up and I've been shut down
 C                         G       Em
You're the best thing that I ever found
C      D        G
Handle me with care

Reputation’s changeable,
situation’s tolerable
But baby you're adorable
C               D
Handle me with care


(chorus)
	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

	      C                      G
        Everybody's got somebody to lean on
	          C                     D
        Put your body next to mine and dream on


I've been fucked up and I've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In daycare centers and night schools
Handle me with care

(solo 1 - see below)

Been stuck in airports terrorized,
Sent to meetings hypnotized
Overexposed commercialized
Handle me with care

(chorus)

I've been uptight and made a mess
But I'm cleaning up myself I guess
Oh the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

(Solo 2 - see below)
