Runaway Train
Soul Asylum

[C] Call you up in the middle of the night. [Em] like a firefly without a light 
[Am] You were there like a slow torch burning
I [G] was a key that could use a little turning

[C] So tired that I couldn't even sleep, [G] so many secrets I couldn't keep 
[Am] Promised myself I wouldn't weep, [G] one more promise I couldn't keep

It [F] seems no one can [G] help me now
I'm [C] in too deep, there's [Am] no way out
[F] This time I have [Em] really led myself [G] 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

[C] Can you help me remember how to smile [G] Make it somehow all seem worthwhile 
[Am] How on earth did I get so jaded
[G] Life's mystery seems so faded

[C] I can go where no one else can go 
[G] I know what no one else knows 
[Am] Here I am just drownin' in the rain 
[G] With a ticket for a runaway train

[F] Everything is [G] cut and dry, [C] day and night, [Am] earth and sky 
[F] Somehow I [Em] don't know and believe [G] it

Chorus:

Instrumental chorus:

[C] Bought a ticket for a runaway train [G] Like a madman laughin' at the rain 
[Am] Little out of touch, little insane
[G] Just easier than dealing with the pain

Chorus:

[C] Runaway train never comin' back [Em] Runaway train tearin' up the track 
[Am] Runaway train burnin' in my veins
[G] Runaway but it always seems the same

Instrumental chorus: x2
