CCall you up in the middle of the night
Em/BLike a fire without a light
AmYou were like a blow torch burning
GI was a key that could use a little turning
CSo tired that I couldn't even sleep
Em/BSo many secrets I couldn't keep
AmPromised myself I wouldn't weep
GOne more promise I couldn't keep
It seemsF no one can helpG me now
I'm inC too deep
There's noAm way out
ThisF time I have realEmly led myselfG astray
CRunaway train never going back
Em/BWrong way on a one way track
AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere
GSomehow I'm neither here nor there
CCan you help me remember how to smile
Em/BMake it all somehow seem worthwhile
AmHow on earth did I get so jaded?
GLife's mystery seems so faded
CI can go where no one else can go
Em/BI know what no one else knows
AmHere I am just drownin' in the rain
GWith a ticket for a runaway train
EveFrything is cut Gand dry
Day Cand night earthAm and sky
SomeFhow I Emjust dont believeG it
CRunaway train never going back
Em/BWrong way on a one way track
AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere
GSomehow I'm neither here nor there
-interlude-
CBought a ticket for a runaway train
Em/BLike a madman laughing at the rain
AmA little out of touch a little insane
GIts just easier than dealing with the pain
CRunaway train never going back
(Runaway train)
Em/BWrong way on a one way track
AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere
GSomehow I'm neither here nor there
Em/BRunaway train never coming back
(Runaway train)
AmRunaway train tearing up the track
(Runaway train)
AmRunaway train burning in my veins
(Runaway train)
GRunaway but it always seems the same.
