F       Dm                    F 
I don't blame you for walking away 
       Dm                    C 
You'll be better, better off someday 
     Bb                         Dm 
If I had, girl, something good to say 
          Gm            Bb                   C 
Don't you think, by now, I would have found a way? 

          Bb         F 
But baby, I won't forget you 
          Dm Bb                 C 
And baby, I   kind of wish that I could 
      Bb                           Dm 
I was reckless when leading you to believe 
         Gm      C               F 
You were careless when you fell for me 

        Dm               F 
I count shadows here in the dark 
         Dm                            C 
And when these clouds just don't want to part 
           Bb                  Dm 
And if the Lord would show me some light 
       Gm        Bb                C 
Then I just might get out of here alive 

      Bb         F 
Baby, I won't forget you 
          Dm Bb           C 
And baby, I   never think I could 
      Bb                      Dm 
I was reckless leading you to believe 
             Gm      C               F 
And you were careless when you fell for me 


Dm     Bb        F 
Minds may speak what hearts may never hear 
Gm        Bb        C 
Some hands need you wipe away the tears 

      Bb         F 
Baby, I won't forget you 
          Dm Bb                 C 
And baby, I   kind of wish that I could 
      Bb                           Dm 
I was reckless when leading you to believe 
         Gm      C               Dm 
You were careless when you fell for me 
               Gm       C              F       Dm Gm Bb F Dm Gm Bb 
Yeah, you were careless when you fell for me
