Runaway Train ( written by Soul Asylum ) Transcribed by : Darrell Rose ([email protected]) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
          C
          Call you up in the middle of the night

          Em
          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
          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
[Chorus]
          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
[Verse 2]
          C
          Can you help me remember how to smile

          Em
          Make it somehow all seem worthwile

          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
          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
[Chorus]
          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
[Bridge]
          C
          Got a ticket for a runaway train

          Em
          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.
