Runaway Train

	  		{Actually in Bb; .} 
{Each chord is half of a measure.} 
{In the second and later verses, the D is actually more of a Dsus4  In the 
 first verse, it's hard to tell.}

{intro}                     I'm worried 
 
  G        C/G  G     D/G       G     C/G  G     D/G 
about you,        I'm worried about me;      The curves around 
 
G   D/F#  Em        Em       D   C   D   D 
 midnight    aren't easy to see;         Flashing 
 
 G     C/G   G   D/F#         Em    Em   D      D 
red warnings   unseen in the rain;         This thing has turned 
 
G  G  C   D       G     C/G   G   D/G     G   C/G   G   D/G 
 into   a runaway train.                                (Long-distance...) 
 
Long-distance phone calls, a voice on the line 
Electrical miles that soften the time 
The dynamite, too, is hooked on the wire 
And so are the rails of American Flyers 
 
Blind boys and gamblers, they invented the blues 
Will pay up in blood when this marker comes due 
To try to get off now, it's about as insane 
As those who wave lanterns at runaway trains 
 
F       F         C     C   Am   D         G    G 
  Steel rails and hard lives are always in twos 
       F     F     C      B   C     C         D      D   Dsus   D 
I have been here before this,    and now it's with you 
 
G  C/G  G  D/G     G  C/G  G  D/G 
{instrumental} 
 
I'm worried about you, I'm worried about me 
We're lighting the fuses and counting to three 
And what are the choices for those who remain 
The sign of the cross on a runaway train 
This thing has turned into a runaway train 
This thing has turned into a runaway train 
Our love has turned into a runaway train 
 
G  C/G  G  D/G 
{Fade on instrumental}
