I saw you up in the middle of the night [Bm] Like a fire flower down the [Am] night
You were there like a blowtorch burning [G] I was the key that could use a little turning
[C] So tired that I couldn't even sleep [Bm] So many secrets I couldn't keep
[Am] I promised myself I wouldn't leave [G] But one more promise I couldn't keep
[F] It seems no one can [G] help me now [C] I'm in too deep, [Am] there's no way out
[F] This time I [Em] have really let [G] myself look straight
[C] Runaway train never going back [Em] Long way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be getting [G] somewhere Somehow I'm either here or there
[C] Can you help me remember how to smile?
[G] Thinking somehow [Bm] I'll seem worthwhile
[Am] I wanna think I get so [G] jaded Life's mystery seems so bad
[C] I can go where no one else can go [Bm] I know where no one else [Am] knows
Here I am just a drowning in the rain [G] With a ticket for a runaway train
And [F] everything seems [G] cut and dry [C] Day and night, [Am] earth and sky
[F] Somehow I [Em] just don't [G] believe it
[C] Runaway train never going back [Em] Long way on a one-way track
[Am] Seems like I should be getting [G] somewhere Somehow I'm either here or [C] there

[C] Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain
[Am] A little out of touch, a little insane [G] It's just easier than dealing with the pain
[C] Runaway train never going [Em] back Long way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be getting [G] somewhere Somehow I'm either here or there
[C] Runaway train never coming [Em] back Runaway train tearing up the [Am] track
Runaway train burning in my [G] veins A runaway but it always seems the [C] same
