[Verse 1]
C/G                      D/F#
So, so you think you can tell,
             Am                  G
Heaven from Hell, blue skys from pain.
                     D                       C/G                    Am
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil,
                      G
Do you think you can tell
[Chorus]
                          C/G Cadd9 C/G                 D/F#
And did they get you to trade           your heroes for ghosts,
                Am                    G                             D
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change,
                  C/G                       Am                         G
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

[Verse 2]
C/G                               D/F#
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
           Am                                   G
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
D                                  C/G
Running over the same old ground. What have we found?
             Am                      G
The same old fears. Wish you were here
