TITLE: Runaway Train
Lyrics and Chords
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
/ C - / Em - / Am - / G - / :
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
/ F G / C Am / F Em G - /
{Refrain}
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
/ C - / Em - / Am - / G - /
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
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
{Refrain}
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
{Refrain}
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
How to read these chord charts
