[INTRO]
Em
Call you up in the middle of the night
Am
Like a firefly without a light,
G
You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
C
I was a key that could use a little turnin'.
Em
So tired that I couldn't even sleep,
Am
So many secrets I couldn't keep;
G
Promised myself I wouldn't weep,
One more promise I couldn't keep.
F G
It seems no one can help me now,
C Am
I'm in too deep, there's no way out;
F Em G C
This time I have really led myself astray.
Em
Runaway train never going back,
Am
Wrong way on a one way track;
G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
↓G C
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.
Em
Can you help me remember how to smile,
Am
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile?
G
How on earth did I get so jaded?
C
Life's mysteries seem so faded.
Em
I can go where no one else can go,
Am
I know what no one else knows;
G
Here I am just drowning in the rain,
With a ticket for a runaway train.
F G
And everything seems cut and dry,
C Am
Day and night, earth and sky;
F Em G C
Somehow I just don't believe it.
Em
Runaway train never going back,
Am
Wrong way on a one way track;
G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
C
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.

G C Am F Em G ↓C
[INTER]
↓Em
Bought a ticket for a runaway train,
↓Am
Like a madman laughing at the rain;
↓G
Little out of touch, little insane,
G C
It's just easier than dealing with the pain.
Em
Runaway train never going back,
Am
Wrong way on a one way track;
G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
C
Somehow I'm neither here nor there.
Em
Runaway train never coming back,
Am
Runaway train tearing up the track,
G
Runaway train burning in my veins,
C
I'd runaway but it always seems the same.
