[Verse 1]
C/G D/F#
So, so you think you can tell,
Am G
Heaven from Hell, blue skys from pain.
D C/G Am
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil,
G
Do you think you can tell
[Chorus]
C/G Cadd9 C/G D/F#
And 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/G Am G
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C/G D/F#
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
Am G
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
D C/G
Running over the same old ground. What have we found?
Am G
The same old fears. Wish you were here
