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