A                   D
I had somebody, somebody who loved me 
E                  A
Someone so good to me 
A                      D
You were my angel, you were my heaven 
E                            A
But I was too blind to see 

F#             D
I let you slip away
E               A 
I guess I never knew 
F#         D
I had the world with you 
       Bm                                         D
I'd be there, still be there in your arms 

Chorus:
Dm            A                                    D
If not for my careless heart you'd still be loving me 
Dm            A                                    C#m  E 
If not for my careless heart you'd still be mine 
  A                  F#m            
I wouldn't have this hurt inside 
  D                   Dm 
I wouldn't have these tears to cry 
              A                             E
If not for my careless heart, if not for my careless heart 

I had my chances, I took advantage 
I took it all too far 
So now you're gone and I'm all alone 
Alone with my lonely heart 

I let it fall apart 
I didn't care enough 
I lost your precious love 
You'd be here, you'd be here in my arms 

Chorus 

Dm                 A7
I'd be loving you, I'd be holding you 
Dm            E
I'd be loving you
              A 
If not for my careless heart
