[Intro Chords}
[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [G] [2x]
[Verse]
[C]So, so you think you can [D]tell
Heaven 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 heroes for [D]ghosts?
Hot ashes for [Am]trees?
Hot air for a [G]cool breeze?
Cold comfort for [D]change?
And did you [C]exchange
A walk on part in the [Am]war
For a lead role in a [G]cage?
[Acoustic Guitar Solo]
[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [G]
[Chorus]
[C]How I wish, how I wish you were [D]here.
We’re just [Am]two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
[G]Year after year,
[D]Running over the same old ground
[C]What have we found?
The same old [Am]fears
Wish you were [G]here
