Runaway Train Tab par Soul Asylum

C     Em

C                                       Em
Call you up in the middle of the night, Like a firefly without light
Am                                       G
You were there like a blowtorch burnin', I was a key that could use a little turnin'
C                                    Em
So tired that I couldn't even sleep, So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am                               G
Promised myself I wouldn't weep, One more promise I couldn't keep
F                   G            C                       Am
It seems no one can help me now, I'm in too deep there's no way out
F                Em         G
This time I have really led myself astray.

C                               Em
Runaway train never going back, Wrong way on a one way track
Am                                        G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere, Somehow I'm neither here nor there.

C                                      Em
Can you help me remember how to smile, Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am                               G
How on earth did I get so jaded, Life's mysteries seem so faded
C                                  Em
I can go where no one else can go, I know what no one else knows
Am                                   G
Here I am just drowning in the rain, With a ticket for a runaway train
F                G            C              Am  
Everything seems cut and dry, Day and night, Earth and sky
F       Em           G
Somehow I just don't believe it

C                               Em
Runaway train never going back, Wrong way on a one way track
Am                                        G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere, Somehow I'm neither here nor there

C                                    Em
Bought a ticket for a runaway train, Like a mad man laughing at the rain
Am                                 G
Little out of touch little insane, It’s just easier than dealing with the pain

C                               Em
Runaway train never going back, Wrong way on a one way track
Am                                        G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere, Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C                                Em
Runaway train never coming back, Runaway train tearing up the track
Am                                 G
Runaway train burning in my veins, Runaway but it always seems the same
