[Intro]
F


[Verse]
          F
Call you up in the middle of the night
Am
Like a firefly without a light
Dm
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
Am
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Dm
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
C
One more promise I couldn't keep


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


[Chorus]
F
Runaway train never going back
Am
Wrong way on a one way track
Dm
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
Am
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
Dm
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
Am
I know what no one else knows
Dm
Here I am just drowning in the rain
C
With a ticket for a runaway train


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


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

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


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


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


[Outro]
