Runaway Train by Soul Asylum - TD edit
[Intro]
| C | C | C | C |
[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
[Outro]
