C                         D
So, so you think you can tell,
             Am                  G
Heaven from Hell, blue skys from pain.
                     D                       C   
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail,
               Am
a smile from a veil,
                      G
Do you think you can tell?
 
 
                          C                   D
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,
                Am                    G    
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze,
                  D
cold comfort for change,
                  C                        Am
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
                       G
for a lead role in a cage?
 
 
Interlude: Em  G  Em  G  Em  A  Em  A
 
 
C                               D
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
           Am                                   G
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
               D
year after year,
                                  C
Running over the same old ground. What have we found?
             Am                         G
The same old fears. Wish you were here!
 
 
Outro: Em  G  Em  G  Em  A  Em  A  G - riff to end -

Sorry to buzz kill, but the main riff is 3-5-8 on the E followed by 5-8-8-5 on A…try it and enjoy even more.

This is AMAZING! The chords are spot on! One problem, however, is I think some of the tablature is off…I tried playing it, but it didn’t sound right. For instance, at one point, for the rift, I did 10, 7, -5- on the A string, instead of plain 10, 7, and it sounded good! Sadly, I am not a master of tablature myself, so I can’t correct the whole thing. I mean no hate by this comment! Only constructive criticism!
