    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

    Instrumental
    | C | C | Em | Em | Am | Am | G | G |

    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

    Outro
    | C | C | Em | Em | Am | Am | G | G |
