Runaway Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][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 burning
[G]I was a key that could use a little turning
[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

[Pre-chorus 1]
It [F]seems no one can [G]help me now
I'm [C]in too deep
There's [Am]no way out
[F]This time I have [Em]really led my[G]self astray

[Chorus 1]
[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
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Can you help me remember how to smile
[Em]Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
[Am]How on earth did I get so jaded
[G]Life's mystery seems 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 drownin' in the rain
[G]With a ticket for a runaway train

[Pre-chorus 2]
And [F]everything seems [G]cut and dry
[C]Day and night, [Am]earth and sky
[F]Somehow [Em]I just don't belie[G]ve it

[Chorus 2]
[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

[Solo 1]
[C][C][Em][Em]
[Am][Am][G][G]
[F][G][C][Am]
[F][Em][G][G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]Bought a ticket for a runaway train
[Em]Like a madman laughin' at the rain
[Am]Little out of touch, little insane
[G]Just easier than dealing with the pain

[Chorus 3]
[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 comin' back
[Em]Runaway train tearin' up the track
[Am]Runaway train burnin' in my veins
[G]Runaway but it always seems the same

[Outro 1]
