VERSE:
C Fmaj7
Where were you when I was burned and broken,
Am G F
While the days slipped by, from my window watching?
C Fmaj7
And Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?
Am Gadd9 F
Beause the things you say and the things you do surround me
Am7 F
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words,
Am Bb
Dying to believe in what you heard,
Am7 Gsus4 G Csus2
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Csus2 Fsus2 F
Lost in thought and lost in time,
Am G5 F
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Csus2 C Fsus2
Outside the rain fell dark and slow,
Am G Fsus2
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
Am Fsus2
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
Am Bbsus2
I knew the moment had arrived
Am Gsus4 Csus2
For killing the past and coming back to life

| Hey AnimalChin, I'm with you. Although I love the "old" Pink Floyd, IMHO they've solidly demonstrated that they don't need Roger Waters. This song kicks major ass. | |

| I agree with all you guys. The Division Bell remains one of my all time favorite albums. What makes it so great is that you can't even give the music on it a title. It transends all categories of music and makes its own. Seemlessly blending classical music, rock, different sound effects, and kick ass vocals. This album is a prime example of why Pink Floyd will forever remain timeless | |

| One of the better songs, the music and voice just takes you to a place where all meaning merely doesn't even need to dissapear. | |

| this entire song relates to a transition in life. its beautiful. its sooo beautiful. i love the lyrics. especially "lost in thought and lost in time" and this really makes you think to "While I pondered on this dangerous but Irresistable pas-time" its amazing. its about deleting the past from your life that makes someone depressed to "come back to life". or thats my interpretation | |
