intro : G G D D C Em D G

1 )

G
call you up in the middle of the night
D
like a firefly without a light
G
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
D
so many secrets i couldn’t keep
G
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 E
i’m in too deep there’s no way out
C G D
this time i have really let myself astray

refrain :

G
runaway train never going back
D
wrong way on a one way track
G
seems like i should be getting somewhere
D
somehow i’m neither here nor there

2 )

G
can you help me remember how to smile
D
make it somehow all seem worthwile
G
how on earth did i get so jaded
D
life’s mysteries seem so faded
G
i can go where no one else can go
D
i know what no one else knows
G
here i Am just drowning in the rain
D
with a ticket for a runaway train

C D
everything seems cut and dry
G E
day and night , earth and sky
C G D
somehow i just don’t believe it

refrain :

G
runaway train never going back
D
wrong way on a one way track
G
seems like i should be getting somewhere
D
somehow i’m neither here nor there

G
got a ticket for a runaway train
D
like a madman laughing at the rain
G
little out of touch little insane
D
it’s just easier than dealing with the pain
G
runaway train never going back
D
runaway on a one way track
G
seems like i should be getting somewhere
D
somehow i’m neither here nor there
Em
runaway train never coming back
D
runaway train tearing up the track
Em
runaway train burning in my veins
D
id runaway but it always seems the same

fade out . . . Em
