[Estrofa]
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-Estribillo]
   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
[Estribillo]
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
[Estrofa]
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-Estribillo]
    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
[Estribillo]
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

[Estrofa]
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
[Estribillo]
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
