Intro: C#m, C#m, Dm, Dm, C#m, C#m,
Em
F                 C          Bb
  Sink in my skin, like a tattoo,
      F      F/E    Dm
  But pictures can fade,
          C                  Bb
  Like a flower locked in a dark room,
F                  C               Bb
  Lie on our backs, talk till we�re new,
      F      F/E    Dm     C              Bb
  But voices will wake us, burst into the bedroom,
     G        Bb
  I fall in a dive,
         G          Bb    Bbm
  Like a kingfisher flies
    F                  Am
  I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb                    Bb        Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,
  F                 Am
  Gave you into the wrong hands,
         Dm                    Bb
  Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart
F               C             Bb
  Carry my past, caught like a gun,
       F   F/E         Dm
  And sharp, shoot the stars down,
     C             Bb
  Oh now look what I�ve done.
    G         Bb
  I fall in a dive,
         G          Bb    Bbm
  Like a kingfisher flies
    F                  Am
  I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb                    Bb        Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,
  F                 Am
  Gave you into the wrong hands,
         Dm                    Bb
  Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart
C#m, C#m, Dm, Dm, C#m, C#m,
Em
F                   C            Bb
  Send me a wreathe, then I�ll be gone,
      F     F/E    Dm              C             Bb
  For nothing can live when you�re poisoning your first love,
    G         Bb
  I fall in a dive,
         G          Bb    Bbm
  Like a kingfisher flies
    F                  Am
  I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb                    Bb        Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,
  F                 Am
  Gave you into the wrong hands,
         Dm                    Bb
  Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart
    F                  Am
  I gave you, into the wrong hands,
      Bb                    Bb        Bb(m)
  The wrong hands, you were right to throw your head up,
  F                 Am
  Gave you into the wrong hands,
         Dm                    Bb
  Oh my careless heart, oh my careless heart
         F
  Oh my careless heart.
For a first tab I don't think I've done too bad.  The only queries I would I have myself
about the intro and that middle 8; those chords dont sound EXACTLY right, but if you
the root note and the G, B and E strings it should sound okay.  If anyone has any 
particularly regarding those parts, email me at danger_dick@hotmail.com
Cheers xo
