Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Burn the midnight lamp down until the dawn

I'll keep watch until I'm sure you're coming home

Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall

They turn into a bad dream overnight

Something could be terribly wrong

____Chorus: 1

Don't be careless love

Don't

be careless love

Don't be, don't be careless love

In my dream you're running nowhere

Every step you've taken turns to glue

Walking down a spiral staircase

Falling through, falling through

Don't be careless love, be careless love

____Verse: 2

The lamp burns down and out

I'm getting pretty tired of this

I feel so bad, something might be going amiss

I won't be there, so look out for yourself

You're getting in deep whate__ver you do

Don't let me go back to sleep

____Chorus: 2

Don't be careless love

Don't

be careless love

Don't be, don't be careless love

Saw your face in the morning paper

Saw your body rolled up in a rug

Chopped up into two little pieces by some thug

Don't be careless love, be careless love

____Verse: 3

But in the morning light, when I wake up again

You're by my side and that's the way it's always been

But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you

Your mind plays funny tricks on you

Your mind plays funny tricks on you

Don't

be careless love
