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


(Guitar 2 solo over Guitar 1 playing Part 1 rhythm)


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


(Guitar 2 solo over Guitar 1 playing Part 1 rhythm and fade)
