CAREFUL MAN
Words and music by Jim Croce

<E>I don't gamble, I don't <E7>fight
I don't be <A>hangin' in the bars at <A7>night
Yeah I <E>used to be a <C#m>fighter
But <A>now I am a <B7>wiser man<E>

<E>I don't drink much, I don't <E7>smoke
I don't be <A>hardly mess around with no <A7>dope
Yeah I <E>used to be a <C#m>problem
But <A>now I am a <B7>careful man<E>

CHORUS:
But if you <A7>used to want to see a commotion
You should have <E>seen the man that I used to be
I was <A7>trouble in perpetual motion
<F#>Trouble with a capital <B7>"T"

<E>Stayin' out late, havin' <E7>fun
And shot off <A>every single shot in my <A7>gun
Yeah I <E>used to be a <C#m>lover
But <A>now I am an <B7>older man<E>

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT LAST VERSE, New last line:)
Yeah I used to be a terror but now I am a tired man
