Version 1 Version 2 Version 4 Version 5[Intro] | C | C | C | C | [Verse 1] C Call you up in the middle of the night Em/B 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/B So many secrets I couldn't keep Am Promised myself I wouldn't weep G One more promise I couldn't keep [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 [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 [Verse 2] C Can you help me remember how to smile Em/B 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/B I know what no one else knows Am Here I am just drowning in the rain G With a ticket for a runaway train [Pre-Chorus] F G And everything seems cut and dry C Am Day and night, earth and sky F Em G Somehow I just don't believe it [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 | | F | G | C | Am | | F | Em | G | G | [Verse 3] C Bought a ticket for a runaway train Em/B Like a madman laughing at the rain Am Little out of touch, little insane G It's just easier than dealing with the pain [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 | (repeat and fade out)
