Solo: Repeat Intro, last G gets 2 measures

C D/F#

So, so you think you can tell,

Am G

Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain?

D C Am

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil?

G

Do you think you can tell?

C D/F#

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,

Am G D

Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change,

C Am G

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Repeat Intro, last G gets 2 measures

C D

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

Am G

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

D/F# C

Running over the same old ground, have we found

Am G

The same old fears? Wish you were here.
