Tom: F
F7+ Em
There was the stage
F7+ Em
Two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
F7+ G
You trod the planks way back then
F7+ 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
F7+ Em
Don't, don't explain
F7+ 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 (x4)
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
F7+ Em
Flashing lights, it's a real show
F7+ 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 F7+
Another man there was made the trains run on time
