G C
You said you love me and me alone
D7 G
And that you'd always be mine my own
C
But someone new came and you did not
G D7 G
Care to remember so you forgot
C
Oh careless darling how carelessly
D7 G
You broke the vow that you made to me
C
With all my heart I believed in you
G D7 G
But careless darling you were untrue
C
Your last goodbye will forever ring
D7 G
Within my ear and full heartaches bring
C
I kept my promise I kept my vow
G D7 G
But you kept nothing it's so plain now
C
Oh careless darling how carelessly
D7 G
You broke the vow that you made to me
C
With all my heart I believed in you
G D7 G
But careless darling you were untrue
C
Now if tomorrow those bygone years
D7 G
Those older memories should bring you tears
C
Think of our parting that luckless day
G D7 G
You carelessly threw my love away
C
Oh careless darling how carelessly
D7 G
You broke the vow that you made to me
C
With all my heart I believed in you
G D7 G
But careless darling you were untrue
