Lyrics

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.
