So, so ya think you can tell
C
heaven from hell,
G
blue skies from pain,
D
can you tell a green field
C
from a cold steel rail?
Am
A smile from a veil?
G
Do ya think ya can tell?

C
Did they get you to trade,
D
your hero’s for ghosts,
C
hot ashes for trees
G
hot air for a cool breeze,
D
cold comfort for change,
C
did you exchange,
Am
your walk on part in the war,
G
for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish,
D
how I wish you were here,
Am
Were just two lost souls
G
swimming in a fish bowl,

year after year,
D
Running over the same old ground,
C
where we found
Am
the same old fears,
G
wish you were here
