Lyrics and Chords

The song picked up by:   Alan Robinson 
[Intro] =
[Riff 1] (x2) [Riff 2] (x2) [Riff 3]

[Solo]

Verse 1:
C/G                         D   Dsus2 D
  So, so you think you can tell
             Am   Asus2 Am
Heaven from Hell,
                 G(v2)
Blue sky's from pain.
                      D    Dsus2 D
Can you tell a green field
                   C/G
From a cold steel rail?
          Cmaj9 Am
a smile from a veil?
                      G(v2)
Do you think you can tell?

Verse 2:
                          C/G
And did they get you to trade
                  D     Dsus2 D
Your heroes for ghosts?
                Am   Asus2 Am
Hot ashes for trees?
               G(v2)
Hot air for a cool breeze?
                   D     Dsus2 D
Cold comfort for change?
                C/G
And did you exchange
               Cmaj9   Am
a walk on part in the war
                      G(v2)
For a lead role in a cage?

[Instrumental] = [Intro]

Chorus:
C/G                                D    Dsus2 D
  How I wish, how I wish you were here.
            Am
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
G(v2)
  Year after year,
D
  Running over the same old ground.
C/G
  And how we found
         Cmaj9 Am
The same old  fears.
               G(v2)
Wish you were here.
