Burn the midnight lamp down until the dawn

Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall

Something could be terribly wrong

Don't be careless love

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

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
