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
