G A
So, so ya think you can tell
Em D A
heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, can ya tell a green field
G Em D
from a cold steel rail? E smile from a veil? Do ya think you can tell...
G A Em
did they get you to trade, your heroes for ghosts, hot ashes for trees
D A G
hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange,
Em D
a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage
G A
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Em D
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
A
Year after year
G
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
Em
The old fears
D
Wish you were here
