Alternative way to play this intro.

C     C add f  C pull off to d  C. Pretty much the same as above only strike the f and d 
instead of just using them as part of the chord.

GI (320003@1)was a key that could use a lit-tle turn-ing.

C (x32010@1)                                  EmSo (022000@1)tired that I couldn't ev-en sleep.
Em (022000@1)                             AmSo (x02210@1)many secrets I couldn't keep.
Am (x02210@1)                              GPromised (320003@1)my-self, I wouldn't weep.
GOne (320003@1)more promise, I couldn't keep

F (133211@1)                 EmIt (022000@1)seems no one can help me now.
    C (x32010@1)                  AmI'm (x02210@1)in too deep, there's no way out.
F (133211@1)              EmThis (022000@1)time I have real-ly led my-self a-stray.  E----------------------|

Em (022000@1)                           AmWrong (x02210@1)way on a one way track.
Am (x02210@1)                                        GSeems (320003@1)like I should be get-ting some-where.
G (320003@1)                                    G//// (320003@1)   Bass for guitar.

Am (x02210@1)                               GHow (320003@1)on earth did I get so jad-ed?
GLife's (320003@1)mys-tery seems so fad-ed.
C (x32010@1)                                EmI (022000@1)can go where no one else can go.
Em (022000@1)                            AmI (x02210@1)know what no one else knows.
Am (x02210@1)                                  GHere (320003@1)I am just-a drown-in'in the rain.
GWith (320003@1)a tic-ket for a run-a-way train, and
F (133211@1)                 EmEv-er-y-thing (022000@1)seems cut and dry.
C (x32010@1)            AmDay (x02210@1)and night, earth and sky.
F (133211@1)              Em (022000@1)          GSome-how (320003@1)I,      just don't be-lieve.

Barre all chords in the solo above.

Play chord once at the beginning of the next 4 verses
until *than on line four.

C (x32010@1) Bought a tic-ket for a run-a-way train.
Em (022000@1) Like a mad-man laugh-in'at the rain.
Am (x02210@1) Lit-tle out of touch, lit-le in-sane.
G (320003@1)          G (320003@1)Just easier *than deal-ing with the pain.

Chorus 3 to end verses below.

C (x32010@1)                                    EmRun-a-way (022000@1)train, nev-er com-in' back.

Listen to the song for the way these chords are played. There are a
lot of notes "picked" out of these chords. Add on and pull off, don't
just strum them. Play the lead solo again over this and fade.
The lead solo is pretty easy(or appears to be) with nothing fancy.
