VERSE:
C                         D/F#
So, so you think you can tell
             Am/E                  G                         D/F#
Heaven from hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field
                  C                    Am                         G
From a cold steel rail, A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
                    C                       D/F#                  Am/E
Did they get you to trade, Your heroes for ghosts, Hot ashes for trees,
                G                           D/F#              C
Hot air for a cool breeze, Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
                      Am                          G
A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage?

We're just two lost souls simming in a fish bowl, Year after year,
                                C                                    Am
Running over the same old ground,  What have we found?  The same old fears,
               G
Wish you were here.
