Runaway Train
Soul Asylum

INTRO:
C   Em   Am   G

C                                      Em
Call you up in the middle of the night like a firefly without a light
Am                                       G
You were there like a blowtorch burnin'. I was a key that could use a little turnin'
C                                     Em
So tired that I couldn't even sleep - So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am                                G
Promised myself I wouldn't weep - One more promise I couldn't keep
F                   G                 C                   Am
It seems no one can help me now - I'm in too deep there's no way out
F                Em              G
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
C                                Em
Runaway train never going back - Wrong way on a one way track
Am                                         G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere - Somehow I'm neither here nor there

C                                      Em
Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am                               G
How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mysteries seem so faded
C                                     Em
I can go where no one else can go - I know what no one else knows
Am                                  G
Here I am just drowning in the rain with a ticket for a runaway train
F                    G             C              Am 
And everything seems cut and dry - Day and night, Earth and sky
F          Em          G
Somehow I just don't believe it

REPEAT CHORUS

BREAK ON VERSE
 
C                                  Em
Got a ticket for a runaway train - Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am                                       G
Little out of touch little insane - It's just easier than dealing with the pain
C                                Em
Runaway train never going back - Wrong way on a one way track
Am                                         G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere - Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C                                 Em
Runaway train never coming back - Runaway train tearing up the track
Am                                  G
Runaway train burning in my veins - Id runaway but it always seems the same.

FADE OUT ON:
C    Em    Am    G
