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
