Runaway train

Written by David Pirner

	  		Intro: C

          C
          Call you up in the middle of the night
          Em/B
          Like a firefly without a light
          Am
          You were there like a blowtorch burnin'
          G
          I was a key that could use a little turnin'
          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                  Am
          I'm in too deep 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

          Verse 2:
          C
          Can you help me remember how to smile
          Em
          Make it somehow all seem worthwile
          Am
          How on earth did I get so jaded
          G
          Life's mysteries seem 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 drowning 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
          Somehow I just don't believe it

          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

          Bridge:

          C
          Got a ticket for a runaway train
          Em
          Like a madman laughing at the rain
          Am
          Little out of touch little insane
          G
          It's 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
          C
          Runaway train never coming back
          Em
          Runaway train tearing up the track
          Am
          Runaway train burning in my veins
          G
          Id runaway but it always seems the same.          Repeat

          C Em Am G  and fade
