{c:Intro}

[C] Call you up in the middle of the night
[Em] Like a firefly without a light
[Am] You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
[G] I was a key that could use a little turnin'


[C] So tired that I couldn't even sleep
[Em] So many secrets I couldn't keep
[Am] Promised myself I wouldn't weep
[G] One more promise I couldn't keep


{c:Pre-Chorus}
It [F] seems no one can [G] help me now
I'm [C] in too deep, there's [Am] no way out
[F] This time I have [Em] really led my- [G] self astray  [G]  


{soc}
[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   [G]     [G!]   
{eoc}


[C] Can you help me remember how to smile
[Em] Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
[Am] How on earth did I get so jaded
[G] Life's mysteries seem so faded


[C] I can go where no one else can go
[Em] I know what no one else knows
[Am] Here I am just drowning in the rain
[G] With a ticket for a runaway train


{c:Pre-Chorus}
And [F] everything seems [G] cut and dry
[C] Day and night, [Am] earth and sky
[F] Somehow I [Em] just don't be- [G] lieve it   [G]  


{soc}
[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
{eoc}

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


{soc}
[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
[C] Runaway train never coming back
[Em] Runaway train tearing up the track
[Am] Runaway train burning in my veins
[G] I'd runaway but it always seems the same
{eoc}
