Intro: G
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 help me now
G Em
I'm in too deep there's no way out
C Bm D
This time I have really 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.
