[Em7] [G] [Em7] [G] [Em7] [A7] [Em7] [A7] [G] [C]So, so you think you can [D]tell, Heaven from [Am]Hell, blue skies from [G]pain. Can you tell a green [D]field from a cold steel [C]rail, A smile from a [Am]veil, Do you think you can [G]tell?

Did they get you to [C]trade your heroes for [D]ghosts, Hot ashes for [Am]trees, hot air for a [G]cool breeze, Cold comfort for [D]change, And did you ex[C]change a walk on part in the [Am]war For a lead role in a [G]cage?

[Em7] [G] [Em7] [G] [Em7] [A7] [Em7] [A7] [G] [C]How I wish, how I wish you were [D]here. We’re just [Am]two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, [G]year after year, [D]Running over the same old ground. [C]What have we found? The same old [Am]fears. Wish you were [G]here!
