[Verse 1]

C                                       Em/B

Call you up in the middle of the night, like a firefly without a light

Am                                       G

You were there like a blowtorch burnin', I was a key that could use a little turnin'

C                                    Em/B

So tired that I couldn't even sleep, so many secrets I couldn't keep

Am                               G

Promised myself I wouldn't weep, one more promise I couldn't keep

 

[Pre-Chorus]

   F                G                C                    Am

It seems no one can help me now  I'm in too deep, there's no way out

F                Em           G

This time I have really led myself astray

 

[Chorus]

C                               Em

Runaway train never going back, wrong way on a one-way track

Am                                        G

Seems like I should be getting somewhere, somehow I'm neither here nor there

 

[Verse 2]

C                                      Em/B

Can you help me remember how to smile, make it somehow all seem worthwhile

Am                               G

How on earth did I get so jaded, life's mysteries seem so faded

C                                  Em/B

I can go where no one else can go, I know what no one else knows

Am                                   G

Here I am just drowning in the rain, with a ticket for a runaway train

 

[Pre-Chorus]

    F                G            C              Am

And everything seems cut and dry, day and night, earth and sky

F         Em           G

Somehow I just don't believe it

 

[Chorus]

C                               Em

Runaway train never going back, wrong way on a one-way track

Am                                        G

Seems like I should be getting somewhere, somehow I'm neither here nor there


[Verse 3]

C                                    Em/B

Bought a ticket for a runaway train, like a madman laughing at the rain

Am                                  G

Little out of touch, little insane, it's just easier than dealing with the pain

 

[Chorus]

C                               Em

Runaway train never going back, wrong way on a one-way track

Am                                        G

Seems like I should be getting somewhere, somehow I'm neither here nor there


[Chorus 2]

C                                Em

Runaway train never coming back, runaway train tearing up the track

Am                                 G

Runaway train burning in my veins, I'd runaway but it always seems the same
