A
Call you up in the middle of the night
C#m
Like a fire without a light
F#m
You were like a blow torch burning
E
I was a key that could use a little turning
A
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
C#m
So many secrets I couldn't keep
F#m
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
E
One more promise I couldn't keep
D E
It seems no one can help me now
A
I'm in too deep
F#m
There's no way out
D C#m E
This time I have really led myself astray
[Chorus]
A
Runaway train never going back
C#m
Wrong way on a one way track
F#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
E
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
A
Can you help me remember how to smile
C#m
Make it all somehow seem worthwhile
F#m
How on earth did I get so jaded?
E
Life's mystery seems so faded
A
I can go where no one else can go
C#m
I know what no one else knows
F#m
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
E
With a ticket for a runaway train
D E
Everything is cut and dry
A F#m
Day and night earth and sky
D C#m E
Somehow I just dont believe it
A
Runaway train never going back
C#m
Wrong way on a one way track
F#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
E
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[Interlude]
A
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
C#m
Like a madman laughing at the rain
F#m
F# little out of touch a little insane
E
Its just easier than dealing with the pain
A
Runaway train never going back
C#m
Wrong way on a one way track
F#m
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
E
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C#m
Runaway train never coming back
F#m
Runaway train tearing up the track
F#m
Runaway train burning in my veins
E
Runaway but it always seems the same.
