D        A        D         G/A       D7
Burn the midnight lamp down until the dawn
Em                 B7                         Em  Asus4 A
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


A                  C#m
Don't be careless love
            C          Bm
Don't be careless love
F#m                          C#m
Don't be, don't be careless love


C#m
In my dreams you're running nowhere
C                                 Bm
Every step you've taken turns to glue
                       F#m
Walking down a spiral staircase

Falling through, falling through


G         C        G
Don't be careless love
          F        Em   A
Don't be careless love

The lamp burns down and out

I'm getting pretty tired of this

I feel so bad, something must be going amiss

I won't be there so look out for yourself

You're getting in deep whatever you do

Don't let me go back to sleep

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

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
      A                          D
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
      A                         C#m
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
          C            Bm   Bb  Gm  D
Don't be careless love
