C D
So, so ya think you can tell
Am G D
heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, can you tell a green field
C Am G
from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do ya think ya can tell?
C D Am
did they get you to trade, your hero's for ghosts, hot ashes for trees
G D C
hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange,
Am G
a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?

(guitar solo played over intro) (added by Andreas Sjolund)
(Actually, this part is sung over the guitar solo)

C D
How I wish, how I wish you were here,
Am G D
Were just two lost soles simming in a fish bowl, year after year,
C Am
Running over the same old ground, but have we found the same old fears,
G
wish you were here

(guitar solo, played over intro fig.)
(This second guitar solo is almost identical to the first, with very
slight variations on the same basic:
--------10
--10/12
and
--------12
--12/14--
themes!)
