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)
