Runaway Train Chords/Lyrics/Verse
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’
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
Runaway Train Chords/Lyrics/Pre-Chorus
F G
It seems no one can help me now
C Am
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out
F Em G
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway Train Chords/Lyrics/Chorus
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
Runaway Train Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2
C
Can you help me remember how to smile
Em
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am
How on earth did I get so jaded
G
Life’s mysteries seem 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 drowning in the rain
G
With a ticket for a runaway train
Runaway Train Chords/Lyrics/Pre-Chorus
F G
It seems no one can help me now
C Am
I’m in too deep, there’s no way out
F Em G
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway Train Chords/Lyrics/Chorus
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

Runaway Train Chord/Lyrics/Verse 3
C
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Em
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am
Little out of touch, little insane
G
It’s just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway Train Chord/Lyrics/Chorus
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
C
Runaway train never coming back
Em
Runaway train tearing up the track
Am
Runaway train burning in my veins
G
I’d runaway but it always seems the same
