Careless Memories

C       E       A
C       E       A
C       E       A
A       C       E       C

[Verse]
E
So soon,
A               Em
Just after you've gone
Bm      Em      Am      C
My senses sharpen
Em            E
But it always takes
A
So damned long
A          Em
Before I feel how much
A            Am
My eyes have darkened

[Instrumental]
E       A       Bb

[Bridge]
C            G          D
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
E           A        C   E   F#m
Drifting in our room
C          Bb
So easy to disturb
C
With a thought
F#m      D
With a whisper...

[Chorus]
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory

[Instrumental]
C       E       A

[Verse]
E
On the table
A         C        Em     A
Signs of love life scattered...
C             Em
And the walls break
A      C        E
We go crashing within

E
E|t's| not as though-- 

Am            Em     A
As though you really mattered
E         Em
But being close,
E               Em
How could I let you go
E
Without some feeling
E
Some precious sympathy following

[Bridge]
C            G          D
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
E           A        C   E   F#m
Drifting in our room
C          Bb
So easy to disturb
C
With a thought
F#m      D
With a whisper...

[Chorus]
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory

[Instrumental]
E       Am      Em      E
C       E       A
C       E       A

[Verse]
E
I walk out into the sun
Em              C
I try to find a new day
E
But the whole place
C       Em      A     C
It just screams in my eyes
E              Em
Where are you now?
Am              C        Em
Cuz I don't want to meet you
Am           E
I think I'd die--
E                 A
I think I'd laugh at you--
E           Em
I think I'd cry--
Em                 E
What am I supposed to do
E       D
Follow you?

[Bridge]
C            G          D
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
E           A        C   E   F#m
Drifting in our room
C          Bb
So easy to disturb
C
With a thought
F#m      D
With a whisper...

[Chorus]
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory
E       A       C
With a careless memory

[Outro]
E
Look out!
C
Look out!
E
Look out!
C       E       A
