***The [F] in this song is a bar chord, by the way (1-1-2-3-1-1)
Intro: [G]
I was [G] good to you
Loving all [C] the time
I was [G] good to you
Loving all [Em] the time
I was [G] good to you
Loved you all my [F] good time [C]
Still you [G] never [D] would be [G] mine
[G] You took away
My silver and [C] gold
You took a[G]way
My silver and [Em] gold
You took a[G]way
My silver [F] and my gold [C]
But you [G] sure can’t [D] take away my [G] soul
[G] This love, careless reckless [C] love
[G] It’s love, careless reckless [Em] love
It’s [G] love, careless reckless [F] love [C]
And there’s [G] nothing [D] in this world that it [G] won’t do
[G] [C] [G] [Em] [G] [F] [C] [G] [D] [G]
My heart is [G] sad
With a muddy old [C] mind
My heart is [G] sad
With a muddy old [Em] mind
My heart is [G] muddy, got trouble rising [F] high [C]
The one I [G] love [D] just won’t be [G] mine
I stand here a[G]lone in my back[C]door
I stand a[G]lone in my back[Em]door
I stand a[G]lone at my back[F]door [C]
At that’s [G] something [D] I never did [G] before
[G] This love, careless reckless [C] love
[G] It’s love, careless reckless [Em] love
It’s [G] love, careless reckless [F] love [C]
And there’s [G] nothing [D] in this world that it [G] won’t do
