[D] [C]
I caught you up in the middle of the [Bm] night
Like a firefly without a [Am] light
You were there like a blowtorch [G] burning
I was the key that could use a little [C] turning
So tired that I couldn't even [Bm] sleep
So many secrets I could [Am] keep
Promised myself I wouldn't [G] weep
One more promise I couldn't [F] keep
It seems no one [G] can 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 betrayed
[C]
Runaway train never going [Em] fast
Long way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be kept in [G] somewhere
Somehow I'm either here or there
Can [C]
you help me remember how to [Bm] smile?
They can somehow all seem worthwhile
[Am] How on earth did I get so [G] cheated?
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 drowning in the [G] rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
[F] And everything [G] seems cut and dry
[C] Day and night, [Am] earth and sky
[F] Somehow [Em] I just don't [G] believe it
[C]
Runaway train never going back
[Em]
Long way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be kept in [G] somewhere
Somehow I'm either here or [C] there

What'd it take you for a runaway train?
[G] Like a madman [C] 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 back
[Em]
Long way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be kept in [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] face
Runaway but it always keeps the [C] same
