[G] [A] [G]
[A] [G]
[C] So, so you [D] think you can tell Heaven [Am] from hell
[G] Blue sky from pain Can [D] you tell it from the view
From a [Gm] cold [C] steel rail A [Am] smile from a veil
Do [G] you think you can tell Did they [C] get you to trade
Your [D] heroes for gold [Am] Hot acid for trees
Hot [G] air for a cool breeze Cold [D] comfort for change
[C] Did you exchange What won part in [Am] the war
For a lead role [G] in a game
[E] [G]
Whether you listen to the hip [D] hop
[G] Or you're told it's a [Em] rock
[A]
[E] Put your cheese on your box
[G]
[A] Take over your [G] box
Let's go
[C] How I wish, how [D] I wish you were here
We're [Am] just two lost souls swimming in a [G] fishbowl
Year after year
[D]
Running over the same old ground
[C] What have we found, the [Am] same old fears
Wish [G] you were here
Yeah
[E] [D] Whether [G]
you listen [Em] to the rock
[G] Or you're marked in the hay We're palm
[A] [E]
Refugees on your box
[Bm]
[A] [E] [G] Critics, don't mistake this for just any cover tune
I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon
Kicking in my mom's womb, this song was just a thought
A young refugee, label, just come with a passport
Dad used to tell me about the American dream
My dream was waking up in the projects, young teen
Listen to hip hop, my brother tuned me into rock
Put me up on Pink Floyd, a man from the British [Em] blocks
[G] Whether you bump into hip [Em] hop
[G]
Or you're told it's a [Em] rock
[A] Refugees on your [Em] box
[A]
We're gonna take one more time
[G]
[C] How I wish, how I [D] wish you were here
[Am] We're just two lost souls swimming in a [G] fishbowl
Year after year
[D] Running over the same old [C] ground
What have we found, the [Am] same old fears
Wish [G] you were here
