Intro: C

Verse:
  C
  Call you up in the middle of the night
  Em  
  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
  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:
  C
  Can you help me remember how to smile
  Em
  Make it somehow all seem worthwile
  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
  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

Bridge:
  C
  Got a ticket for a runaway train
  Em
  Like a madman laughing at the rain
  Am
  Little out of touch little insane
  G
  It's just easier than dealing with the pain
  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
  Id runaway but it always seems the same.

Outro: C  Em  Am  G

Biography

Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.

Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will.
