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