C
Call you up in the middle of the night
Em
Like a fire without a light
Am
You were like a blow torch burning
G
I was a key that could use a little turning
C
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
Em
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am
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
I'm in too deep
           Am
There's no way out
     F               Em            G
This time I have really led myself astray
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Runaway train never going 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
 
C
Can you help me remember how to smile
Em
Make it all somehow seem worthwhile
Am
How on earth did I get so jaded?
G
Life's mystery seems so faded
C
I can go where no one else can go
Em
I know what no one else knows
Am
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
G
With a ticket for a runaway train
   F              G
Everything is cut and dry
    C               Am
Day and night earth and sky
    F     Em               G
Somehow I just dont believe it
 
 
C
Runaway train never going 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
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Em
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am
A little out of touch a little insane
G
Its just easier than dealing with the pain
 
 
C
Runaway train never going 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
Em
Runaway train never coming back
Am
Runaway train tearing up the track
Am
Runaway train burning in my veins
G
Runaway but it always seems the same.
