Intro: G G D D C Em D G

          1)
          
          G
          Call you up in the middle of the night
          D
          Like a firefly without a light
          G
          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
          D
          So many secrets I couldn't keep
          G
          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                   E
          I'm in too deep there's no way out
          C                G             D
          This time I have really let myself astray


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

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

          C                D
          Everything seems cut and dry
          G              E
          Day and night, earth and sky
          C         G             D
          Somehow I just don't believe it

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


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

Fade out... Em
