C
Call you up in the middle of the night
Cadd2/B
Like a fireflywithout a light
Am
You were there like a blowtorch burning
G
I was the key that could use a little turning
C
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
Cadd2/B
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
G
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

Chorus:
C
Runaway train never going back
Cadd2/B
Wrong way on a one way track
Am
Seems like I should be get-ting somewhere
G
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
(Extra measure of G, then pause for Bass line)
C
Can you help me remember how to smile
Cadd2/B
make it somehow all seem worthwhile?
Am
How on earth did I get so jaded?
G
Life's mystery seems so faded
C
I can go where no one else can go
Cadd2/B
I know what no one else knows
Am
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
G
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
Cadd2/B
Wrong way on a one way track
Am
Seems like I should be get-ting' somewhere
G
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

C - Cadd2/B - Am - G
F - G - C - Am
F - Em - G
(Single stroke strum on each chord)
C
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Cadd2/B
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am
A little out of touch, a little insane
G
Its just easier than dealing with the pain

(Return to regular strum pattern)
C
Runaway train never going back
Cadd2/B
Wrong way on a one way track
Am
Seems like I should be get-ting' somewhere
G
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C
Runaway train never coming back
Cadd2/B
Runaway train tearing up the track
Am
Runaway train burning in my veins
G
Runaway but it always seems the same.
