[Chorus]
C5         F5          C5         F5
We'll roll on with our heads held high
    C5                G5          A5               F5  G5 C5
Our conscience in the gutter, our dreams up in the sky-y--y

We'll roll on with our heads held high

Our conscience in the gutter, our dreams up in the sky-y--y
 
[Verse 1]
A5
The shipyards are deserted on the docks of Melbourne town
    C5       D5       A5
The wharfies standing strong
A5
They gathered round to see what the union had to say
        C5       D5       A5
There's too much work and not enough pay - SAY!
 
[Chorus]
C5         F5          C5         F5
We'll roll on with our heads held high
    C5                G5          A5               F5  G5 C5
Our conscience in the gutter, our dreams up in the sky-y--y
C5         F5          C5         F5
We'll roll on with our heads held high
    C5                G5          A5               F5  G5 A
Our conscience in the gutter, our dreams up in the sky-y--y
 
[Verse 2]
A5
We'll protest in peace, keep the whole thing quiet
    C5         D5          A5
The last thing needed is a wage-fuelled riot
A5
'Cause they don't really care, they're always standing there
C5               D5       C5       D5
Running from the outside, from the outside
C5               D5      E5
Running from the outside world
 
[Solo]
F5 A5 F5 E5
 
[Verse 3]
A5
Do you really care?
A5
Why are you standing there
C5              D5      A5
Filming for the outside world?
A5
Do you really care?
A5
Why are you standing there
C5              D5      A5
Filming for the outside world?
 
[Bridge]
N.C.
Five weeks had passed when the union made it clear
N.C.
Spirits slowly faded and the end was getting near
N.C.
"You see you're all expendable" and when all is said and done
           G5                               D5               G5
"You'll go back to work tomorrow, meet your new replacement, son!"
C5   F5  C5   F5  C5   G5 A5 F5 G5 A5
Roll On, Roll On, Roll On
 
[Chorus]
C5         F5          C5         F5
We'll roll on with our heads held high
    C5                G5          A5               F5  G5 C5
Our conscience in the gutter, our dreams up in the sky-y--y
C5         F5          C5         F5
We'll roll on with our heads held high
    C5                G5          A5               F5  G5 A
Our conscience in the gutter, our dreams up in the sky-y--y

[Verse 1]
C5                                 A5
You know we tried to make you understand
   G#5               C5
We tried to make you realise
G5 C5                             A5
     Her fame is down and time is up
                           G#5
But somehow it don't seem enough
                                 C5
'Cause the world wouldn't listen anymore
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C5
Caught by social evil

Wasn't streetwise after all

Was she there at all?
 
[Chorus]
D5                                   G5
Pictures in the mirror, pictures she never knew

Not such an ordinary life

Pictures in the mirror
 
[Verse 2]

The sun goes down
         A5
The moon appears on the horizon

The streets are bare
          C5
She walks alone
 
[Pre-Chorus]

A5 E F G C B A
 
[Verse 1]
A5                            E F G C B A
Pirate stations in the harbour
A5                               E F G C B A
Sending a message to the wireless
A5           E F G C B A
A warning to all tonight

There'll be no remorse tonight

Anger burns the city to the ground
 
[Verse 2]
A5                            E F G C B A
Secrets told and fears revealed
A5                                  E F G C B A
Peace is cheap and a smile's a steal
A5                         E F G C B A
So the world lost it's beat
A5                      E F G C B A
The world lost it's feet
A5              E F G C B A5         E F G C B A
Passed by while everyone was sleeping

[Verse 1]
                       B
Times up heading for a brighter light
D#          A#             B
The foreign waters put the fire out
D#     A#         B
No one ever asked you
       D#       A#       B
Wasn't meant to end this way
            D# A# B
To end this way
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm     G    Bm      G
You're not alone now
Bm  G          Bm
You're closing in now
 
[Chorus]
Em                  C            G
Staring at the light so easily denied
Em                  C         G
Staring at the light released before your time
Em                  C                  G
Staring at the light look on the other side
G              B      E            C
You never knew why it wasn't up to you
 
[Verse 2]
D#       A#            B
Some may relish in the afterlife
D#      A#            B
Dancing slowly on the edge of a knife
D#      A#          B
Sipping wine of the poisonous kind
    D#      A#    B
Overdose on loneliness
 
[Verse 3]
D#       A#            B
Have no fear now we're on the case
D#           A#     B
Beyond there lies a better place
      D#        A#       B
Where knowledge ends and faith begins
  D#      A#             B      Bm
A hell to stand by and a heaven within
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G   Bm       G
Not alone now
Bm  G          Bm
You're closing in now
 
[Chorus]
Em                  C            G
Staring at the light so easily denied
Em                  C         G
Staring at the light released before your time
Em                  C                  G
Staring at the light look on the other side
G              B      E               E  B E B E B E B
You never knew why it had to end this way

Dirty man thinks he can get away with it

Not too bright where's the light

A5
Clean man, dirty thoughts should know better

Now I've thrown it all away

Blind man, can't you see what you've become

[Verse 1]
E            G               C
Is there something going on around me
E            G              C
Is there something I should know?
E            G        D             C   E
The ghost of paranoia slips into my mind
N.C.
And the dust it settles in
 
[Verse 2]
E            G           C
It's getting harder to remember

Just what it is I need to say
E       G             D      C
Another shadow in the memory

I'll never be the same again

E          G         C
And why is everybody running
E         G               D         C
For all I know I could be losing my mind
E
And the dust it settles in

Whoa whoa whoa lost inside my mind
C                     E

Is there something I should know?
E               G        D             C
Everything just seems to vanish in the haze
E
And the dust it settles in
 
[Chorus]
C                     E
Whoa whoa whoa lost inside my mind
C                     E
