Verse
C                    C                   Bm7 
 Call you up in the middle of the night  

               Bm7       G     Am 
Like a firefly without a light  

                      Am                G 
You were there like a blowtorch burnin'  

                       G                    C 
I was a key that could use a little turnin'  

                C                   G 
So tired that I couldn't even sleep  

                G               Am 
So many secrets I couldn't keep  

                Am              G 
Promised myself I wouldn't weep  

                 G 
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        G 
This time I have really led myself  astray  


Chorus
C               C                Em 
 Runaway train never goin' back  

             Em 
Wrong way on a one way track 

Am                                       G 
Seems like I should be gettin' somewhere  

                    G              G C 
Somehow I'm neither here nor there   


Verse
                C                     G 
Can you help me remember how to smile  

                    G               Am 
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile  

                   Am           G 
How on Earth did I get so jaded  

               G              C 
Life's history seems so faded  

               C                  G 
I can go where no one else can go  

  Bm7       G                 Am 
I know what no one else knows  

                 Am                   G 
Here I am just a drownin' in the rain  

                    G 
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    G 
Somehow I just don't believe  it  


Chorus
C               C                Em 
 Runaway train never goin' back  

               Em 
Wrong way on a one way track 

Am 
Seems like I should be getting somewhere 

G 
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Verse
                      C             G 
Bought a ticket for a runaway train  

              G 
Like a madman laughin' at the rain 

Am                                  G 
A little out of touch little insane  

                 G7 
Just easier than dealin' with the pain 


Chorus
C               C                Em 
 Runaway train never goin' back  

               Em            Am 
Wrong way on a one way track  

                       Am                G 
Seems like I should be getting somewhere  

                    G              C 
Somehow I'm neither here nor there  

              C                 Em 
Runaway train never comin' back  

              Em                   Am 
Runaway train tearin' up the track  

              Am 
Runaway train burnin' in my veins 

G 
I run away but it always seems the same
