Soul Asylum – Runaway Train (Guitar)

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/B
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

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
Can you help me remember how to smile

Em/B
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile

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/B
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

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
Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Em/B
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
I'd runaway but it always seems the same
