[Intro]
B
[Verse]
B
Call you up in the middle of the night
D#m
Like a firefly without a light
G#m
You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
F#
I was a key that could use a little turnin'
B
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
D#m
So many secrets I couldn't keep
G#m
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
F#
One more promise I couldn't keep
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#
It seems no one can help me now
B G#m
I'm in too deep there's no way out
E D#m F#
This time I have really led myself astray
[Chorus]
B
Runaway train never going back
D#m
Wrong way on a one way track
G#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
F#
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[Verse]
B
Can you help me remember how to smile
D#m
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
G#m
How on earth did I get so jaded
F#
Life's mysteries seem so faded
B
I can go where no one else can go
D#m
I know what no one else knows
G#m
Here I am just drowning in the rain
F#
With a ticket for a runaway train
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#
And everything seems cut and dry
B G#m
Day and night, Earth and sky
E D#m F#
Somehow I just don't believe it
[Chorus]
B
Runaway train never going back
D#m
Wrong way on a one way track
G#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
F#
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[Solo]
B D#m G#m F# E F# B G#m E D#m F#
[Bridge]
B
Got a ticket for a runaway train
D#m
Like a madman laughing at the rain
G#m
Little out of touch little insane
F#
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
[Chorus]
B
Runaway train never going back
D#m
Wrong way on a one way track
G#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
F#
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[Chorus]
B
Runaway train never coming back
D#m
Runaway train tearing up the track
G#m
Runaway train burning in my veins
F#
I'd runaway but it always seems the same.
[Outro]
