Selection chords: Katie Paterson

   F#                       G#m
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
   B                  C#         F#
Some brighteyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
 F#                    G#m
A warning to anyone still in command
B           C#          F#
Of their possible future, to take care.
 F#                      G#m
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
   B               C#           F#
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.
D#m
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
                C#
Do you think we shoud be closer?

  F#                          G#m
She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
B                C#       F#
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign.
  F#                         G#m
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
     B                 C#          F#
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
F#                        G#m
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand.
      B               C#           F#
He said, "I was just a child then, now Iʼm only a man."
D#m
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
                 C#
Do you think we should be closer?

D#m B D#m B D#m C# B C# B

    F#                        G#m
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
   B              C#        F#
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
F#                          G#m
Strung out behind us the banners and flags
    B              C#       F#
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.
D#m
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
                 C#
Do you think we should be closer?
