Capo VI

[Intro]
F#


[Verse]
          F#
Call you up in the middle of the night
A#m
Like a firefly without a light
D#m
You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
C#
I was a key that could use a little turnin'
F#
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
A#m
So many secrets I couldn't keep
D#m
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
C#
One more promise I couldn't keep


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


[Chorus]
F#
Runaway train never going back
A#m
Wrong way on a one way track
D#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
C#
Somehow I'm neither here nor there


[Verse]
F#
Can you help me remember how to smile
A#m
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
D#m
How on earth did I get so jaded
C#
Life's mysteries seem so faded
F#
I can go where no one else can go
A#m
I know what no one else knows
D#m
Here I am just drowning in the rain
C#
With a ticket for a runaway train


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


[Chorus]
F#
Runaway train never going back
A#m
Wrong way on a one way track
D#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
C#
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

[Solo]

[Bridge]
F#
Got a ticket for a runaway train
A#m
Like a madman laughing at the rain
D#m
Little out of touch little insane
C#
It's just easier than dealing with the pain


[Chorus]
F#
Runaway train never going back
A#m
Wrong way on a one way track
D#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
C#
Somehow I'm neither here nor there


[Chorus]
F#
Runaway train never coming back
A#m
Runaway train tearing up the track
D#m
Runaway train burning in my veins
C#
I'd runaway but it always seems the same.


[Outro]
