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?

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,

Running over the same old ground, but have we found the same old fears,
                         G
Wish you were here
