[Verse 1]
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
Do you think you can tell?
 
[Verse 2]
                          C
And 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
And did you exchange
                       Am
A walk on part in the war
                         G
For a leading role in a cage?

[Verse 3]
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
What have we found?
                Am
The same old fears
               G     Em
Wish you were here
