| G | |
| Call you up in the middle of the night |
| Em | |
| Like a firefly without a light |
| C | |
| 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 |
| Em | |
| So many secrets I couldn't keep |
| C | |
| Promised myself I wouldn't weep |
| D | |
| One more promise I couldn't keep |
| C | D | |
| It seems no one can h | elp me now |
| G | Em | |
| I'm i | n too deep there's | no way out |
| C | Bm | D | |
| This time I have rea | lly led myself | astray |
| Chorus: |
| G | |
| Runaway train never going back |
| Em | |
| Wrong way on a one way track |
| C | |
| Seems like I should be getting somewhere |
| D | |
| Somehow I'm neither here nor there |
| Verse 2 |
| Can you help me remember how to smile |
| Make it somehow all seem worthwile |
| How on earth did I get so jaded |
| Life's mysteries seem so faded |
| I can go where no one else can go |
| I know what no one else knows |
| Here I am just drowning in the rain |
| With a ticket for a runaway train |
| And everything seems cut and dry |
| Day and night, Earth and sky |
| Somehow I just don't believe it |
| Chorus |
| Bridge: |
| G | |
| Got a ticket for a runaway train |
| Em | |
| Like a madman laughing at the rain |
| C | |
| Little out of touch little insane |
| D | |
| It's just easier than dealing with the pain |
| G | |
| Runaway train never going back |
| Em | |
| Wrong way on a one way track |
| C | |
| Seems like I should be getting somewhere |
| D | |
| Somehow I'm neither here nor there |
| G | |
| Runaway train never coming back |
| Em | |
| Runaway train tearing up the track |
| C | |
| Runaway train burning in my veins |
| D | |
| Id runaway but it always seems the same. |
