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?

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!
