Be Careful of My Heart
Tracy Chapman
                      Dm
You and your sweet smile 
F                       C             G C [riff]
You and your tantalizing ways 
             Dm
You and your honey lips 
F                C                       G C [riff]
You and all the sweet things that they say 
             Dm
You and your wild wild ways 
F                C                G C [riff]
One day you just up and walked away 

             Dm
You left me hurting 
F             C                    G C [riff]
But I can forgive you for that now 
              Dm
You taught me something 
F                       C            G C [riff]
Something took me half my life to learn 
              Dm
When you give all yourself away 
F                       C              G C [riff]
Just tell them to be careful of your heart 

                  F      G
Be careful of my heart, heart 
                   F           C
Be careful of this heart of mine 
                   F      G
Be careful of my heart, heart 
   F                                         G 
It just might break and send some splinters flying 
                  F      G 
Be careful of my heart, heart 
                   Dm             F                 C          GC [riff] 2x
Be careful 




D
You you you 
F
You you you 
C           GC [RIFF[
You you you 
F                  
Took my love 
G                   Dm
Thought you took it all 


D
You you you 
F
You you you 
C
You you you 
F
Took my love 
G                        Dm
And now you're gone 



       Dm
But I'm not breaking down 
F                    C
And I'm not falling apart 
       Dm
I just lost a little faith 
F          C
When you broke my heart 
       Dm
Given a chance 
F                     C
I might try it again 
                 C                G
But I wouldn't risk it all this time 






I'd save 
         Dm
A little love for myself 
  F                                
Enough for my heart to mend 
         C
A little love for myself 
G                                 Dm
One day I just might love again 
   F           C                                 [riff[
One day some sweet smile might turn my head 
Dm            F            C                                  G C [riff]
One day I just might                give all myself away 
Dm            F            C                                  G C [riff]
One day 
Dm            F            C                                  G C [riff]
One day 
Dm            F            C                                  G C [riff]
One day
