F5         E5
There was the stage
F5                E5
Two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
F5                        G5
You trod the planks way back then
F5                        G5     A5    G5     F5
And it's strange that you're here again, here again


      C5            G5          A5
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
   C5             G5            A5          F5
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
      C5            G5           A5     F5
And defeat them in your secret battle
G5             A5          E5       F5
Show them you can be your own man again


F5          E5
Don't, don't explain
F5                    E5
Lots of little victories take on the pain
D5                  E5
It takes so long to earn
D5                   G5       A5    G5       F5
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn


      C5            G5          A5
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
   C5             G5            A5          F5
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
      C5            G5           A5     F5
And defeat them in your secret battle
G5             A5          E5       F5
Show them you can be your own man again


SOLO:  C5   G5   A5   F5  (x4)


      C5            G5          A5
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
   C5           G5          A5         F5
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
              C5          G5             A5    F5
Cause they're taking the food off your table
G5           A5           E5            F5
So they can say that the trains run on time


         F5               E5
Flashing lights, it's a real show
         F5               E5
And your wife, I wouldn't go home
D5                      E5
The little bundles need care
D5                 G5      A5     G5      F5
And you can't be a father there, father there


      C5            G5          A5
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
   C5             G5            A5          F5
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
      C5            G5           A5     F5
And defeat them in your secret battle
G5             A5          E5       F5
Show them you can be your own man again
G5             A5          E5       F5
Show them you can be your own man again


      C5            G5          A5          F5
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
   C5           G5          A5         F5
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
              C5          G5             A5    F5
Cause they're taking the food off your table
G5           A5           E5            F5
So they can say that the trains run on time
 G5                A5           E5            F5
Another man there was made the trains run on time
