Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  Call you up in the middle of the night

  Like a firefly without a light

  You were there like a blowtorch burnin'

  I was a key that could use a little turnin'

  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

  It seems no one can help me now

  I'm in too deep there's no way out

  This time I have really led myself astray

Chorus

  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

Verse 2

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

And everything seems cut and dry

Day and night, Earth and sky

Somehow I just don't believe it

Chorus

Bridge

  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

  Wrong way on a one way track

  Seems like I should be getting somewhere

  Somehow I'm neither here nor there

  Runaway train never coming back

  Runaway train tearing up the track

  Runaway train burning in my veins

  Id runaway but it always seems the same.
