Chords
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Call you up in the middle of the night
Cadd9/B Like a firefly without a light
Am You were there like a blowtorch burning
G I was a key that could use a little turning
C So tired that I couldn't even sleep
Cadd9/B So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am Promised myself I wouldn't weep
G One more promise I couldn't keep
[Pre-Chorus]
It seemsF no one can helpG me now
I'm inC too deep
There's noAm way out
ThisF time I have realEmly lead myselfG astray
[Chorus]
C/E Runaway train never going back
Em Wrong way on a oneway track
Am Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G Somehow I'm neither here nor there
[Verse 2]
C Can you help me remember how to smile?
Cadd9/B Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
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
Cadd9/B I know what no one else knows
Am Here I am, just drowning in the rain
G With a ticket for a runaway train
[Pre-Chorus]
And eveFrything seems cutG and dry
DayC and night
EarthAm and sky
SomeFhow IEm just don't believeG it
[Chorus]
C/E Runaway train never going back
Em Wrong way on a oneway track
Am Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G Somehow I'm neither here nor there

[Verse 3]
C Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Cadd9/B Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am A little out of touch, little insane
G It's just easier than dealing with the pain
[Chorus]
C/E Runaway train never going back
Em Wrong way on a oneway track
Am Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C/E Runaway train never coming back
Em Runaway train tearing up the track
Am Runaway train burning in my veins
G I run away but it always seems the same
