| YOUR POSSIBLE PASTS |
| Pink Floyd |
| (Waters) |
| G | Am | |
| They | flutter behind you your possible pa | sts, |
| C | D | G | |
| Some | brighteyed and crazy, some | frightened and | lost. |
| G | Am | |
| A | warning to anyone still in comm | and |
| C | D | G | |
| Of their possible | future, to take | care. |
| G | Am | |
| In | derelict sidings the poppies entwi | ne |
| 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 smi | le |
| C | D | G | |
| Haunting her face like a | cheap hotel | sign. |
| G | Am | |
| Her | cold eyes imploring the men in their m | acs |
| C | D | G | |
| For the | gold in their bags or the | knives in their | backs. |
| G | Am | |
| Stepping up boldly one put out his h | and. |
| 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 h | and |
| C | D | G | |
| Shown | how to feel good and | told to feel | bad. |
| G | Am | |
| Strung out behind us the banners and fl | ags |
| 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? |
