So
                     D
So you think you can tell
                Am
Heaven from Hell
                    G
Blue skies from pain
                         D
Can you tell a green field
                     C
From a cold steel rail?
                 Am
A smile from a veil?
                         G
Do you think you can tell?

                       C
Did they get you to trade
                     D
Your heroes for ghosts?
                  Am
Hot ashes for trees?
                        G
Hot air for a cool breeze?
                      D
Cold comfort for change?
               C
Did you exchange
                         Am
A walk on part in the war
                         G
For a lead role in a cage?

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                               
Running over the same old ground
C                 
What have we found?
                Am
The same old fears
                 G
Wish you were here

So
                     D
So you think you can tell
                Am
Heaven from Hell
                    G
Blue skies from pain

Can you tell a green field

A smile from a veil?
