Runaway Train

[Intro]
G


[Verse]
          G  
Call you up in the

middle of the night
Bm
Like a firefly without a light
Em  
You were there like

a blowtorch burnin'
D  
I was a key that could

use a little turnin'
G  
So tired that I

couldn't even sleep
Bm
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Em
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
D
One more promise I couldn't keep


[Pre-Chorus]
C                    D
It seems no one can help me now
     G                  Em
I'm in too deep there's no way out
          C             
  This time I have really
    Bm             D
led myself astray


[Chorus]
G
Runaway train never going back
Bm
Wrong way on a one way track
Em  
Seems like I should

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


[Verse]
G  
Can you help me remember

how to smile
Bm
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
Em
How on earth did I get so jaded
D
Life's mysteries seem so faded
G
I can go where no one else can go
Bm
I know what no one else knows
Em  
Here I am just drowning

in the rain
D
With a ticket for a runaway train


[Pre-Chorus]
C                    D
And everything seems cut and dry
G              Em
Day and night, Earth and sky
C         Bm                      D
Somehow I just don't believe it


[Chorus]
G
Runaway train never going back
Bm
Wrong way on a one way track
Em  
Seems like I should

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

[Solo]
G  Bm  Em  D   C  D  G  Em  C  Bm  D


[Bridge]
G
Got a ticket for a runaway train
Bm
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Em
Little out of touch little insane
D  
It's just easier than

dealing with the pain


[Chorus]
G
Runaway train never going back
Bm
Wrong way on a one way track
Em  
Seems like I should

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


[Chorus]
G
Runaway train never coming back
Bm
Runaway train tearing up the track
Em
Runaway train burning in my veins
D  
I'd runaway but it

always seems the same.


[Outro]
G Bm Em D 2x
