Runaway train (midi)
1. Call you up in the middle of the night,
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.
F G
C a
It seems no one can help me now, I'm in too
deep there's no way out.
F
e G - G7
this time I have really led
myself astray.
C
Runaway train never going back,
Em
runaway
on a one way track,
Am
seems
like I should be getting somewhere,
G
~ ~
somehow
I'm neither here nor there.
C
2. Can you help me remember how to smile,
Em
make it somehow
all seem worth while?
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.
F G C Am
Everything is cut and dry, day and night,
earth and sky
F - Em G - G7
Somehow I just don't believe it.
C
Runaway train never going back,
Em
runaway
on a one way track,
Am
seems
like I should be getting somewhere,
G
somehow
I'm neither here nor there.

3. Bought a ticket
for a runaway train,
Em
like a madman laughin' at the rain,
Am
a little out of
touch, little insane,
G
it's just easier than dealing with the
pain. + CHORUS
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.
+ C - Em - Am - G - C - Em ...
