Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

Intro:
C 

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

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

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

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

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mysteries seem so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Solo:
C Em Am G F G C Am F Em G 

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
Little out of touch little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
