Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
C - Em - Am - G
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'.
2.
So tired that I couldn't even sleep,
so many secrets I couldn't keep,
promised myself I wouldn't weep,
one more promise I couldn't keep.
Pre1
FG
It seems no one can help me now,
CAm
I'm in too deep, there's no way out.
FEmG
This time I have really led myself astray.
Ref1
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.
3.
Can you help me remember how to smile,
make it somehow all seem worthwhile.
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mysteries seem so faded.
4.
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.
Pre2
FG
And everything seems cut and dry,
CAm
day and night, earth and sky.
FEmG
Somehow I just don't believe it.
Ref2
Runaway train never going back,
wrong way on a one-way track.
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
somehow I'm neither here nor there.

5.
Bought 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.
Ref3
Runaway train never going back,
wrong way on a one-way track.
Seems like I should be getting somewhere,
somehow I'm neither here nor there.
Ref4
Runaway train never coming back.
Runaway train tearing up the track.
Runaway train burning in my veins.
I'd runaway but it always seems the same.
