So,
so you think you can (D)tell
heav en 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?
And did they get you to (C)trade
your he roes for (D)ghosts,
hot ash es for (Am)trees,
hot air for a (G)cool breeze,
cold com fort for (D)charge.
And did you ex (C)change
a walk on part in the (Am)war
for a lead role in a (G)cage?
How I wish,
how I wish you were (D)here.
We’re just (Am)two lost souls swim ming in a fish bowl.
Year af ter year,
run ning o ver the same old ground.
What have we found;
the same old (Am)fears.
Wish you were here.
