[C] [G]
[C]
I saw you up in the middle of the night [G] Like a firefly without a light
[Am] 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 [G] So many secrets I couldn't keep
[Am] 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
There's [Am] no way out [F] This time I [Em] have really let [G] myself astray
[C] Runaway train never going [Em] back Wrong way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be getting [G] somewhere Somehow I'm either here nor there
Can
[C] you help me remember how to smile?
[G] Take it somehow I'll seem worthwhile
[Am] But did I get so [G] jaded?
Life's mystery seems so [C] faded
I can go where no one else can go [G] I [C] know where no [G] one else [Am] knows
Here I am just a drowning in the rain [G] With a ticket for a runaway train
And [F] everything [G] seems 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] Wrong way on a one-way track
[Am] Seems like I should be getting [G] somewhere Somehow I'm either here nor [C] there

[C] a ticket for a runaway train [G] Like the 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] Wrong way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be getting [G] somewhere Somehow I'm either here nor 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 seems the [C] same
