Intro: G, D, Am, C X5

G                D
How many cabs in New York City?

Am              C
How many angels on a pin?

G                   D
How many notes on a saxophone?

Am                  C
How many tears in a bottle of gin?

G                      D
How many times did you call my name?

Am                        C             G  D  Am
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in.


C       G
I know,
 
D         Am
I've been, 

C
Careless.


G                    D
I've been wrapped up in a shell.

Am                C 
Nothing could get through to me.

G            D 
Acted like I didn't know.

Am                C
I had friends and family.

G           D
I saw worry in their eyes.

Am                  C       G  D  Am
It didn't look like fear to me.


C      G
I know, 

D         Am
I've been, 
     
C        G
Careless.

D        Am
I've lost, 

   C          G
my tenderness.

D         Am
I've been, 

C       G
Careless.

D     Am    C     
I took, bad care of this.


G              D
Like a mixture in a bottle.

Am            C
Like a frozen over lake.

G                D
Like a long time faded smile.

Am             C
I got so hot I had to crack.

G                  D
You were there you held the line.

Am                  C          G    D Am
You're the one that brought me back.


C      G
I know, 

D         Am
I've been, 
     
C        G
Careless.

D        Am
I've lost, 

   C          G
my tenderness.

D         Am
I've been, 

C       G
Careless.

D     Am    C     
I took, bad care of this.


G                D
How many cabs in New York City?

Am              C
How many angels on a pin?

G                   D
How many notes on a saxophone?

Am                  C
How many tears in a bottle of gin?

G                      D
How many times did you call my name?

Am                        C
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in?

G                     D
How many stars in the Milky Way?

Am                    C
How many ways can you loose a friend?
