D                           E 
So, so you think you can tell 
 
              Bm 
Heaven from Hell 
 
                   A 
Blue Skies from pain 
 
                       E 
Can you tell a green field 
 
                    D 
From a cold steel rail 
 
                Bm 
A smile from a veil 
 
                       A 
So you think you can tell 
 
                       D 
Did they get you to trade 
 
                    E 
Your heroes for ghosts 
 
                  Bm 
Hot Ashes for trees 
 
                      A 
Hot air for a cool breeze 
 
                    E 
Cold comfort for change 
 
              D 
Did you exchange? 
 
                      Bm 
A walk on part in the war 
 
                      A 
For a lead role in a cage 
--- 
 
D                              E 
How I wish, how I wish you were here 
 
            Bm                                A 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl 
 
             E 
Year after year. 
 
                D 
Running over the same old ground. 
 
                                  Bm 
What have we found the same old fears 
 
                A 
Wish you were here
