Album: Duran Duran (1981) Em/B = xxx453 Esus2/B = xxx452 [Intro] Em [Verse 1]
   Em
So soon,   just after you've gone  my senses sharpen.

       Em
But it always takes   so damned long before

  Em
I feel how much my eyes have darkened.
[Bridge]
C                       D
  Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke

         Em
drifting in our room.

           C                                 D
So easy to disturb   with a thought,  with a whisper,
[Refrain]
       Em                        Em
with a careless memory.   With a careless memory.
[Verse 2]
       Em
On the table   signs of love life scattered.

        Em
And the walls break.   We go crashing within.

     Em
It's not as though   as you really mattered.

          Em
But being close,   how could I let you go

             Em
without some feeling?   Some precious sympathy following.
[Bridge]
C                       D
  Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke

         Em
drifting in our room.

           C                                 D
So easy to disturb   with a thought,  with a whisper.
[Refrain]
        Em              C  D        Em               C  D
with a careless memory.      With a careless memory.

        Em              C  D        Em               C  D    Em
with a careless memory.      With a careless memory.
[Instrumental] Em/B Esus2/B Em/B x4 Em [Verse 3]
        Em
Oooh, I walk  out  into the sun,   I try to find a new day

        Em
but the whole place   It just screams in my eyes.

      Em
Where are you now,  cause I don't want to meet you?

            Em
I think I'd die,  I think I'd laugh at you?

           Em
I know I'd cry.  What am I supposed to do? Follow you?
[Bridge]
C                                      D
  Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now.

                 Em
I just try to forget you.

              C                              D
So easy to disturb   with a thought   with a whisper,
[Refrain]
        Em
With a careless memory,   with a careless memory.

        C                         D
With a careless memory.    With a careless memory.

        Em
With a careless memory.
[Outro]
Em
Look out, Look out
Look out. Look out Em
