Intro: G

          G
          Call you up in the middle of the night
          Em
          Like a firefly without a light
          C
          You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
          D
          I was a key that could use a little turnin'
          G
          So tired that I couldn't even sleep
          Em
          So many secrets I couldn't keep
          C
          Promised myself I wouldn't weep
          D
          One more promise I couldn't keep

          C                    D
          It seems no one can help me now
               G                  Em
          I'm in too deep there's no way out
          C                   Bm             D
          This time I have really led myself astray

          Chorus:
          G
          Runaway train never going back
          Em
          Wrong way on a one way track
          C
          Seems like I should be getting somewhere
          D
          Somehow I'm neither here nor there

          Verse 2
          Can you help me remember how to smile
          Make it somehow all seem worthwile
          How on earth did I get so jaded
          Life's mysteries seem so faded
          I can go where no one else can go
          I know what no one else knows
          Here I am just drowning in the rain
          With a ticket for a runaway train

          And everything seems cut and dry
          Day and night, Earth and sky
          Somehow I just don't believe it

          Chorus
          
          Bridge:

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