Runaway Train

[Intro]
A#


[Verse]
          A#  
Call you up in the

middle of the night
Dm
Like a firefly without a light
Gm  
You were there like

a blowtorch burnin'
F  
I was a key that could

use a little turnin'
A#  
So tired that I

couldn't even sleep
Dm
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Gm
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
F
One more promise I couldn't keep


[Pre-Chorus]
D#                    F
It seems no one can help me now
     A#                  Gm
I'm in too deep there's no way out
          D#             
  This time I have really
    Dm             F
led myself astray


[Chorus]
A#
Runaway train never going back
Dm
Wrong way on a one way track
Gm  
Seems like I should

be getting somewhere
F
Somehow I'm neither here nor there


[Verse]
A#  
Can you help me remember

how to smile
Dm
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
Gm
How on earth did I get so jaded
F
Life's mysteries seem so faded
A#
I can go where no one else can go
Dm
I know what no one else knows
Gm  
Here I am just drowning

in the rain
F
With a ticket for a runaway train


[Pre-Chorus]
D#                    F
And everything seems cut and dry
A#              Gm
Day and night, Earth and sky
D#         Dm                      F
Somehow I just don't believe it


[Chorus]
A#
Runaway train never going back
Dm
Wrong way on a one way track
Gm  
Seems like I should

be getting somewhere
F
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

[Solo]
A#  Dm  Gm  F   D#  F  A#  Gm  D#  Dm  F


[Bridge]
A#
Got a ticket for a runaway train
Dm
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Gm
Little out of touch little insane
F  
It's just easier than

dealing with the pain


[Chorus]
A#
Runaway train never going back
Dm
Wrong way on a one way track
Gm  
Seems like I should

be getting somewhere
F
Somehow I'm neither here nor there


[Chorus]
A#
Runaway train never coming back
Dm
Runaway train tearing up the track
Gm
Runaway train burning in my veins
F  
I'd runaway but it

always seems the same.


[Outro]
A# Dm Gm F 2x
