Runaway train never going back

Wrong way on a one way track

Can you help me remember how to smile

Make it somehow all seem worthwile

Life's mysteries seem so faded

I know what no one else knows

Here I am just drowning in the rain

With a ticket for a runaway train

Got a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughing at the rain

Little out of touch little insane
G chordG
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
C chordC
Runaway train never going back
Em chordEm
Wrong way on a one way track
Am chordAm
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G chordG
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C chordC
Runaway train never coming back
Em chordEm
Runaway train tearing up the track
Am chordAm
Runaway train burning in my veins
G chordG
Id runaway but it always seems the same. Repeat
C chordC-Em chordEm-Am chordAm-G chordG and fade
