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?
