Verse
C D Am7
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
G
blue skies from pain.
D C
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
Am7
A smile from a veil?
G
Do you think you can tell?
Verse
(G) (A) (B) C D
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Am7
Hot ashes for trees?
G
Hot air for a cool breeze?
D
Cold comfort for change?
C Am7
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
G
for a lead role in a cage?

[Refrão] C D Dsus4 D
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
Am7
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
G
year after year,
D
Running over the same old ground.
C Am7
What have you found? The same old fears.
G
Wish you were here.
