Intro
| C | C | C | C |
Verse1
C
Call you up in the middle of the night
Em/B
Like a firefly without a light
Am
You were there like a blowtorch burnin’
G
I was a key that could use a little turnin’
C
So tired that I couldn’t even sleep
Em/B
So many secrets I couldn’t keep
Am
Promised myself I wouldn’t weep
G
One more promise I couldn’t keep
Pre-chorus
It
F
seems no one can
G
help me now
I’m
C
in too deep, there’s
Am
no way out
F
This time I have
Em
really led
G
myself
astray
Chorus
C
Runaway train never going back
Em
Wrong way on a one-way track
Am
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G
Somehow I’m neither here nor there
Verse2
C
Can you help me remember how to smile
Em/B
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am
How on earth did I get so jaded
G
Life’s mysteries seem so faded
C
I can go where no one else can go
Em/B
I know what no one else knows
Am
Here I am just drowning in the rain
G
With a ticket for a runaway train
Pre-chorus
And
F
everything seems
G
cut and dry
C
Day and night,
Am
earth and sky
F
Somehow I
Em
just don’t
G
believe
it
Chorus
C
Runaway train never going back
Em
Wrong way on a one-way track
Am
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G
Somehow I’m neither here nor there
Verse3
C
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Em/B
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am
Little out of touch, little insane
G
It’s just easier than dealing with the pain
Chorus
C
Runaway train never going back
Em
Wrong way on a one-way track
Am
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G
Somehow I’m neither here nor there
C
Runaway train never coming back
Em
Runaway train tearing up the track
Am
Runaway train burning in my veins
G
I’d runaway but it always seems the same
