    VERSE:
    C D/F#
    So, so you think you can tell
    Am/E G D/F#
    Heaven from hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field
    C Am G
    From a cold steel rail, A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
    C D/F# Am/E
    Did they get you to trade, Your heroes for ghosts, Hot ashes for trees,
    G D/F# C
    Hot air for a cool breeze, Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
    Am G
    A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage?

    VERSE:
    C D/F#
    How I wish, how I wish you were here,
    Am/E G D/F#
    We're just two lost souls simming in a fish bowl, Year after year,
    C Am
    Running over the same old ground, What have we found? The same old fears,
    G
    Wish you were here.
