[C] There was [Em] a stage, [F] two red lights [Em] and a dodgy PA
[F] You trod the planks way [G] back then
[F] And it's strange that [G] you're here [Am] again, [G] here [F]
again
[C] And I wish I, [G] wish I knew [Am] the right words
[C] To make you [G] feel better, [Am] walk out of [F] this place
[C] And feed them [G] in your [Am] secret bed [F] holes
[G] Show [Am] them you can [Em] be [F] romantic
Don't,
[E] don't explain
[Em]
[F] Lots [E] of little victories take on the pain
[Dm] It takes so [Em] long to earn
[Dm] You [G] can double up or you [Am] can burn, [G] you [F] can burn
[C] And I wish I, [G] wish I knew [Am] the right words
[C] To make you [G] feel better, [Am] walk out of [F] this place

[C] Cause they're taking [G] the food off [Am] your table
[F]
[G] So [Am] they can say that [Em] the trains [F] run on time
Flashing lights, it's [Em] a real show
And [F] your wife, I [Em] wouldn't go home
[Dm] The little bundles [G] me care
[Dm]
And you can't be [Em] father [Am] there, [G]
father [F] there
