C                         D
So, so you think you can tell
             Am
Heaven from Hell
                 G
Blue Skies from pain
                      D
Can you tell a green field
                   C
From a cold steel rail
                Am
A smile from a veil
                      G
So you think you can tell

                      C
Did they get you to trade
                  D
Your heroes for ghosts
                Am
Hot Ashes for trees
               G
Hot air for a cool breeze
                   D
Cold comfort for change

            C
Did you exchange?
                      Am
A walk on part in the war
                      G
For a lead role in a cage

C                                D
How I wish, how I wish you were here
            Am
We're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl
G
Year after year.
D
Running over the same old ground.
C                                Am
What have we found the same old fears
               G
Wish you were here
