Wish You Were Here

Song Author David Gilmour Lyrics by: Roger Waters Performer: Pink Floyd Submitted by: saevar
[Em]    [G]    [Em]    [G]    [Em]    [A]    [Em]    [A]    [G]    
[C]So, so you think you can [D]tell,
Heaven from [Am]Hell, blue skies from [G]pain.
Can you tell a green [D]field from a cold steel [C]rail,
a smile from a [Am]veil,
Do you think you can [G]tell?

And did they get you to [C]trade
your heroes for [D]ghosts,
Hot ashes for [Am]trees, hot air for a cool [G]breeze,
cold comfort for [D]change,
And did you exch[C]ange a walk on part in the [Am]war   
for a lead role in a [G]cage?

[Em]    [G]    [Em]    [G]    [Em]    [A]    [Em]    [A]    [G]    
[C]How I wish, how I wish you were [D]here.
We're just [Am]two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
[G]year after year, [D]    
Running over the same old ground.
[C]What have we found?
The same old [Am]fears. Wish you were here! [G]    

[Em]    [G]    [Em]    [G]    [Em]    [A]    [Em]    [A]    [G]    


So, so you think you can tell,
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail,
a smile from a veil,
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts,
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze,
cold comfort for change,
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?


How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears. Wish you were here!
