Verse 1: 
 
        
         Am   C Dm                            
Careless love,       
                          Am   C Dm 
quit pouring honey in my ears 
                                  Am   C Dm 
You're speaking diamonds crystal clear 
                         Am   C  Dm 
So far away I want you near 
 
Chorus: 
                 Dm 
Crying out for more 
               F 
Just a little more 
                   Am 
Tied down on the floor 
                    G 
Like a prisoner of war 
Dm                      F 
(Oh) I've been down so long 
              Am  
Day is nearly gone 
             G 
I must carry on 
                  Am  C Dm 
With this wasted love 
 
Verse 2: 
 
           Am  C Dm                                           
Careless love,  
                                   Am    C Dm 
there's more to say than should be said 
                                      Am   C Dm                                   
Can't get these words straight in my head 
                        Am     C Dm      
You make me feel so powerless 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
Dm   F   Am
