Your Possible Pasts
Ton : DEnglish
Couplet
They Gflutter behind you your possible Ampasts,
Some Cbrighteyed and crazy, some Dfrightened and Glost.
A Gwarning to anyone still in Amcommand
COf their possible Dfuture, to take Gcare.
In Gderelict sidings the poppies entwine Am
With Ccattle trucks lying in Dwait for the next Gtime.
Refrain
EmDo you remember me, how we used to be,
Do you think we should be Dcloser?
Couplet
She Gstood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile Am
CHaunting her face like a Dcheap hotel Gsign.
Her Gcold eyes imploring the men in their Ammacs
For the Cgold in their bags or the Dknives in their Gbacks.
GStepping up boldly one put out his Amhand.
He said, "I Cwas just a child then, Dnow I'm only a Gman."
Refrain
EmDo you remember me, how we used to be,
Do you think we should be Dcloser?
Em C Em C Em D C D Cmaj9
Couplet
By the Gcold and religious we were taken in Amhand
Shown Chow to feel good and Dtold to feel Gbad.
GStrung out behind us the banners and Amflags
Of our Cpossible pasts lie in Dtatters and Grags.
Refrain
EmDo you remember me, how we used to be,
Do you think we should be Dcloser?
