So, 
                     D
So you think you can tell
               Am
Heaven from hell
                G
Blue skies from pain
                       D/F# 
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
C                 Am               
Smile from a veil?
                       G
Do you think you can tell?
                             C
Did they get you to trade?
                   D
Your heroes for ghosts
                Am 
Hot ashes for trees
                     G 
Hot air for a cool breeze
                    D/F#
Cold comfort for change
                  C
And did you exchange?
                      Am
A walk on part in the war
                         G 
For a lead role in the cage
C
How I wish, 
                    D
How I wish you were here
                  Am 
We´re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
G
Year after year
D/F#
Running over the same old ground
C
What have we found?
                Am
The same old fears
                 G 
Wish you were here
