G C D So, so you think you can tell, Am G Heaven from Hell, 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? 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 And did you exchange a walk on part Am G In the war for a lead role in a cage? Em G Em G Em A Em A G C D How I wish, how I wish you were here Am We're just two lost souls swimming in G A fish bowl, year after year, D Running over the same old ground. C What have we found? Am G The same old fears. Wish you were here!
