Then the chords and the lyrics come in.


G    C                         D
     So, so you think you can tell

              Am                   G                          D
 heaven from hell, blue sky from pain. Can you tell a green field, from a 

             C                    Am                         G
cold steel rail, a smile from a vail? Do you think you can tell? 

                  C                      D                    Am
Did they get you trade, your heros for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air

          G                             D                C        
from a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange, a walk on 

                 Am                          G
the part of the war, for a lead role in the cage.




Fill1 is played here again along with the solo.
the solo will be added soon, i haven't yet perfected it yet.



 C                                D              Am
How i wish, how i wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming

               G                D                                 C
in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground, but have

                         Am                  G
we found the same old fears, wish you were here.
