      F (133211@1)    F/E (xx2211@1)  Dm (xx0231@1) But pictures can fade,
          C (x32010@1)                Bb (x1333x@1) Like a flower locked in a dark room,
F (133211@1)                C (x32010@1)             Bb (x1333x@1) Lie on our backs, talk till we're new,

     G (320003@1)      Bb (x1333x@1) I fall in a dive,
         G (320003@1)        Bb (x1333x@1)  Bbm (x13321@1) Like a kingfisher flies

    F (133211@1)                Am (x02210@1) I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb (x1333x@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1)      Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,
  F (133211@1)               Am (x02210@1) Gave you into the wrong hands,
         Dm (xx0231@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1) Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart

F (133211@1)             C (x32010@1)           Bb (x1333x@1) Carry my past, caught like a gun,
       F (133211@1) F/E (xx2211@1)       Dm (xx0231@1) And sharp, shoot the stars down,
     C (x32010@1)           Bb (x1333x@1) Oh now look what I've done.
    G (320003@1)       Bb (x1333x@1) I fall in a dive,
         G (320003@1)        Bb (x1333x@1)  Bbm (x13321@1) Like a kingfisher flies


    F (133211@1)                Am (x02210@1) I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb (x1333x@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1)      Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,
  F (133211@1)               Am (x02210@1) Gave you into the wrong hands,
         Dm (xx0231@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1) Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart

    G (320003@1)       Bb (x1333x@1) I fall in a dive,
         G (320003@1)        Bb (x1333x@1)  Bbm (x13321@1) Like a kingfisher flies


    F (133211@1)                Am (x02210@1) I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb (x1333x@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1)      Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,

         Dm (xx0231@1)                  Bb (x1333x@1) Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart
         F (133211@1) Oh my careless heart.


For a first tab I don't think I've done too bad.  The only queries I would I have myself
about the intro and that middle 8; those chords dont sound EXACTLY right, but if you
the root note and the G, B and E strings it should sound okay.  If anyone has any 
particularly regarding those parts, email me at danger_dick@hotmail.com
