[Verse 1] C D/F# So, so you think you can tell, Am/E G Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. D/F# Can you tell a green field C Am from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil, G Do you think you can tell? [Verse 2] C Did they get you to trade your D/F# heroes for ghosts, Am/E Hot ashes for trees, hot air G D/F# for a cool breeze, 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? [Instrumental] Em7 G Em7 G Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 G [Verse 3] C D/F# How I wish, how I wish you were here. Am/E We're just two lost souls swimming G in a fish bowl, year after year, D/F# Running over the same old ground. C What have we found? Am G The same old fears. Wish you were here! [Instrumental] Em7 G Em7 G Em7 A7sus4 Em7 A7sus4 G |x2
