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