{c:verse 1}
[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
{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:verse 2}
[C] Can you help me remember how to smile
[Em] Make it somehow all seem worthwile
[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
{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:verse 3}
[C]↓ Got 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
[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.
