Fmaj7         Em 
There was the stage 
Fmaj7                Em 
Two red lights and a dodgy P.A. 
Fmaj7                        G 
You trod the planks way back then 
Fmaj7                        G     Am    G     F 
And it's strange that you're here again, here again 

 
      C            G          Am 
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 
   C             G            Am          F 
To make you feel better, walk out of this place 
      C            G           Am     F 
And defeat them in your secret battle 
G             Am          Em       F 
Show them you can be your own man again 
 

Fmaj7          Em 
Don't, don't explain 
Fmaj7                    Em 
Lots of little victories take on the pain 
Dm                  Em7 
It takes so long to earn 
Dm                   G       Am    G       F 
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn 


      C            G          Am 
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 
   C             G            Am          F 
To make you feel better, walk out of this place 
      C            G           Am     F 
And defeat them in your secret battle 
G             Am          Em       F 
Show them you can be your own man again 


SOLO:  C   G   Am   F  (4x) 


      C            G          Am 
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 
   C           G          Am         F 
To blow up the pokies and drag them away 
              C          G             Am    F 
Cause they're taking the food off your table 
G           Am           Em            F 
So they can say that the trains run on time 


         Fmaj7               Em 
Flashing lights, it's a real show 
         Fmaj7               Em 
And your wife, I wouldn't go home 
Dm                      Em7 
The little bundles need care 
Dm                 G      Am     G      F 
And you can't be a father there, father there 


      C            G          Am 
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 
   C             G            Am          F 
To make you feel better, walk out of this place 
      C            G           Am     F 
And defeat them in your secret battle 
G             Am          Em       F 
Show them you can be your own man again 
G             Am          Em       F 
Show them you can be your own man again 


      C            G          Am          F 
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words 
   C           G          Am         F 
To blow up the pokies and drag them away 
              C          G             Am    F 
Cause they're taking the food off your table 
G           Am           Em            F 
So they can say that the trains run on time 
 G                Am           Em            Fmaj7 
Another man there was made the trains run on time
