Intro: C x4

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'

So tired that I couldn't even sleep, So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep, One more promise I couldn't keep

   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

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

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

        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

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

Bought a ticket for a runaway train, Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane, It's just easier than dealing with the pain

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

Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins
I'd runaway but it always seems the same
