I saw you up in the middle of the night [G] Like a fire flower down the night
[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] 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] If I have [Em] really let [G] myself astray
[C] Runaway train never going back [Em] Wrong way on a one-way [Am] track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere [G] Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can
[C] you help me remember how to smile [G] Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
[Am] But did I get so [G] cheated Life's mystery seems so fair
[C] 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 good brain [G] With a ticket for a runaway train
And [F] everything seems [G] cut and dry [C] Day and night
