Pink Floyd - Your Possibile Pasts
G Am
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
C D G
Some brighteyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
G Am
A warning to anyone still in command
C D G
Of their possible future, to take care.
G Am
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
C D G
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.
Em
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
D
Do you think we shoud be closer?
G Am
She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
C D G
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign.
G Am
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
C D G
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
G Am
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand.
C D G
He said, "I was just a child then, now I'm only a man."
Em
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
D
Do you think we should be closer?
Em C Em C Em D C D Cmaj9
G Am
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
C D G
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
G Am
Strung out behind us the banners and flags
C D G
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.
Em
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
D
Do you think we should be closer?
