____Verse: 1

 A        E         A          D/E      A7
 Burn the midnight lamp down until the dawn 
 Bm                F#7                         Bm  Esus4  E
 I'll keep watch until I'm sure you're coming home 
 A                E                       A
 Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall 
      A7                    Bm
 They turn into a bad dream overnight 
 F#7                           Bm
 Something could be terribly wrong 

____Chorus: 1

 E                 Abm
 Don't be careless love     
                   Don't 
    G        F#m
 be careless love 
 C#m                         Abm
 Don't be, don't be careless love
                                   G
 In my dream you're running nowhere 
                                    F#m
 Every step you've taken turns to glue 
                       C#m
 Walking down a spiral staircase 

 Falling through, falling through 
 D        G         D       C        Bm  E
 Don't be careless love, be careless love 

____Verse: 2

     A          E         A
 The lamp burns down and out 
                    D/E        A7
 I'm getting pretty tired of this 
    Bm          F#7                        Bm  Esus4  E
 I feel so bad, something might be going amiss 
   A                  E                 A
 I won't be there, so look out for yourself 
        A7                   Bm
 You're getting in deep whate__ver you do 
       F#7                 Bm
 Don't let me go back to sleep 

____Chorus: 2

 E                 Abm
 Don't be careless love     
                   Don't 
    G        F#m
 be careless love 
 C#m                         Abm
 Don't be, don't be careless love
                                   G
 Saw your face in the morning paper 
                               F#m
 Saw your body rolled up in a rug 
                                   C#m
 Chopped up into two little pieces by some thug 
 D        G         D       C        Bm  E
 Don't be careless love, be careless love
 
____Verse: 3

     A      E         A                D/E  A7 
 But in the morning light, when I wake up again 
        Bm             F#7                         Bm  Esus4  E
 You're by my side and that's the way it's always been 
     A                E                           A
 But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you 
      E                           A
 Your mind plays funny tricks on you 
      E                           Abm
 Your mind plays funny tricks on you      
                                 Don't 
    G        F#m  F  Dm  A 
 be careless love
