[Intro]
| D D/C | G/B G | D D/C | G/B G |
 
 
[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
