Runaway Train
Soul Asylum
CEmAmG
CCall you up in the middle of the night.
Em/HLike a firefly without a light,
Amyou were there like a slow torch burning.
GI was a key that could use a little turning.
CSo tired that I couldn't even sleep.
EmSo many secrets I couldn't keep.
AmI promised myself I wouldn't weep.
GOne more promise I couldn't keep.
It Fseems no one can Ghelp me now;
I'm Cin too deep. There's Amno way out.
This Ftime I have Emreally let mysGelf astray.
CRunaway train, never going back
EmWrong way on a oneway track
AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere
GSomehow I'm neither here nor there
CCan you help me remember how to smile,
Emmake it somehow all seem worth-while?
AmHow on earth did I get so jaded?
GLife's mystery seems so faded.
CI can go where no one else can go.
EmI know what no one else knows.
AmHere I am just drowning in the rain,
Gwith a ticket for a runaway train.
And Feverything seems Gcut and dry,
CDay and night, Amearth and sky.
FSomehow I Emjust don't belGieve it.
CRunaway train, never going back.
EmWrong way on a oneway track.
AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere,
Gsomehow I'm neither here nor there.
CBought a ticket for a runaway train.
EmLike a madman laughing at the rain.
AmA little out of touch, a little insane.
GIt's just easier than dealing with the pain.
CRunaway train, never going back.
EmWrong way on a oneway track.
AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere,
Gsomehow I'm neither here nor there
CRunaway train, never coming back
EmRunaway train, tearing up the track
AmRunaway train, burning in my veins
GI'd runaway but it always seems the same.
