Runaway Train Harmonica Tabs

Soul Asylum — Runaway Train

7 7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 -44
Call you up in the middle of the night
7 7 7 7 7 5 5 -4 4
Like a firefly without a light
7 7 7 7 7 7 5 -4 5
You were there like a slow torch burning
7 7 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 -8 7 7 -6 6
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

-7 7 7 7 7 -7 7 7
It seems no one can help me now
7 -7 7 7
I’m in too deep
7 8 -8 7-7
There’s no way out
-7 7 7 7 -7 7 6 -6 -6 6 6
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 -4
Runaway train never going back
7 7 7 7 7 6 -5 5
Wrong way on a one way track
7 7 7 7 7 7 5 -4 5
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
7 7 7 7 -8 8-8-87 7 -6 6
Somehow I’m neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life’s mystery seems so faded

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

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don’t believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin’ at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

8 -8 -87 7 7 7 5 5 -4
Runaway train never comin’ back
7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 -5 5
Runaway train tearin’ up the track
7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 -4 5
Runaway train burnin’ in my veins
7 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 -8 7 -6 6
Runaway but it always seems the same

8 -8 -87 7 8 -8 -8 7 7 -8
Runaway train never comin’ back
8 -8 -87 7 8 -8 -8 7 7
Runaway train tearin’ up the track
8 -8 -87 7 8 -8 -8 7 7 -8
Runaway train burnin’ in my veins
7 7 7 7 -8 8 -8 -8 7 -6 6
Runaway but it always seems the same
