There was the stage
 F7M                               Em 
Two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
 F7M                                               G 
You trod the planks way back then
 F7M                                               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
 F7M                   Em 
Don't, don't explain
 F7M                                       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

And I wish, I wish I knew the right words

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
                   F7M                             Em 
Flashing lights, it's a real show
                   F7M                             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

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

So they can say that the trains run on time
   G                               Am                     Em                       F7M 
Another man there was made the trains run on time
