[Verse 1]

                          D

  So, so you think you can tell

             Am                    G

Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain?

                      D                        C

Can you tell a green field? From a cold steel rail?

                Am                         G

A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

                      C                     D

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

                Am                   G

Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?

                   D                 C

Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange

                       Am                       G

A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

 

[Verse 2]

C                                  D

  How I wish, how I wish you were here

            Am                                  G

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

D                                  C

  Running over the same old ground, what have we found?

              Am                   G

The same old fears, wish you were here
