GI let my heart fall Cinto careless Ghands
Careless D7hands that broke my heart in Gtwo
You held my dreams like Cworthless grains of Gsand
Careless D7hands don't care when dreams slip Gthrough

But A7all that sunshine didn't make the roses D7grow
If you don't Gchange someday you'll know the Csorrow Emof
Careless Ghands that D7can't hold on to Glove
I brought you Cjoy and dear I loved you Gso
But A7all that sunshine didn't make the roses D7grow
If you don't Gchange someday you'll know the Csorrow Emof
Careless Ghands that D7can't hold on to Glove
