Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

Intro

C

CCall you up in the middle of the night

C/BLike a firefly without a light

AmYou were there like a blowtorch burnin’

GI was a key that could use a little turnin’

CSo tired that I couldn’t even sleep

C/BSo many secrets I couldn’t keep

AmPromised 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

FThis time I have Emreally led myGself astray

Hard stop after a couple beats

G

CCan you help me remember how to smile

C/BMake it somehow all seem worthwhile

AmHow on earth did I get so jaded

GLife’s mysteries seem so faded

CI can go where no one else can go

C/BI 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 beGlieve it

Solo

Let ring

CBought a ticket for a runaway train

C/BLike a madman laughing at the rain

AmA little out of touch, little insane

GIt’s just easier than dealing with the pain
