C                           D                 Am                     G 
   So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell?  Blue skies from pain? 

                     D                        C                     Am 
Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail?  A smile from a veil? 

                     G                          C                      D 
Do you think you can tell?  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                             Am                        G 
And did you exchange, a walk-on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...

C                               D 
How I wish, how I wish you were here 

           Am                                   G                  D 
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year 

                                C                                   Am 
Running over the same old ground, what have we found - the same old fears? 

              G 
Wish you were here
