Intro: F-Dm-Gm-C-

         F                 Dm
   If you love me like you tell me
              Gm             C
   Please be careful with my heart
             Gm                  C
   You can take it, just don't break it
           Cm7               F
   Or my world will fall apart

              Bb      C
   You are my first romance
           Am                Dm
   And I'm willing to take a chance
               Gm
   That till life is through
        C               F  F7
   I'll still be loving you
              Bb     C
   I will be true to you
         Am                     Dm
   Just a promise from you will do
             Gm
   From the very start

   I love you and you know I do
                Gm            Cm-F
   There'll be no one else for me
                       Cm
   Promise I'll be always true
            F                Bb
   For the world and all to see
          Am                        Dm
   Love has heard some lies softly spoken
              C                   F
   And I have had my heart badly broken
   Gm                  C                   F-F# pause
   I've been burned and I've been hurt before

                   Bb
   So I know just how you feel 
              Gm             Cm-F
   Trust my love is real for you
                  Cm
   I'll be gentle with your heart
          F                        Dm-G
   I'll caress it like the morning dew
            Cm                  F
   I'll be right beside you forever
             Dm                Gm
   I won't let our world fall apart
              Cm
   From the very start 
            F             Bb       F#
   I'll be careful with your heart
