Pink Floyd - Your Possible Pasts (Waters)


     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?
