CCall you up in the middle of the night
EmLike a firefly without a light
AmYou were there like a blowtorch burnin'
GI was a key that could use a little turnin'
CSo I'm tired and I couldn't even sleep
EmSo many secrets I couldn't keep
AmPromised myself I wouldn't leave
GOne more promise I couldn't keep

FSeems no one can Ghelp me now
And I'm Cin too deep there's Amno way out
FThis time I have Emreally let myGself astray

  CRunaway train never going back
  EmRunaway on a one way track
  AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere
  GSomehow I'm neither here nor there

Follows same pattern as above
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mysteries seem so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything seems cut and dry
Day and night Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train never going back
Runaway on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Got a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never going back
Runaway on a one way track
