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