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
