Runaway Train

F# C D

[Verse 1]
Gm      Dm
I always knew that you were hiding 
something from me
              C                   
I always knew you're not what you 
Dm
pretend to be

I always knew that all your lies 
would come to light one day
But I never knew what it could do to
     G  Gm
 me
          G
My broken heart's become an engine
Dm                              F
And my blood is pumping steel
            Gm
I'm running wild with vengeance
Dm                        D
I've lost control of this machine

[Chorus]
Dm
There's no slowing down now
              Bb
I'm a runaway train

My pistons are pounding
                     D
Brakes are screaming your name
                 Gm
And when there's nothing but 
wreckage and flames
D   Dm
And your misery is all that remains
          Bb    C      Bb
I'll feel human again
C         Dm
But I'm a runaway train

[Verse 2]
Gm      Dm
I never knew that I could have this 
kind of power

I never knew that I could be the one
 to strike
        D                          
I never knew that all my love could
                  Eb
 turn to anger so fast
Dm                            D   Gm
Show me what hatred is like

And now my chest is cold and empty
Dm                             F
I've got steel instead of bone
              G
The coals are burning inside me
Dm
So don't you dare think I won't

[Chorus]
Gm      Dm
There's no slowing down now
              Bb
I'm a runaway train

My pistons are pounding
                          D
Brakes are screaming your name
                         Gm
And when there's nothing but 
wreckage and flames
    D    Dm
And your misery is all that remains
          Bb    C       Bb
I'll feel human again
A         Dm
But I'm a runaway train

[Bridge]
                    Bb      D
Red light flashing, gate is down
Dm                C               
None of that will help you now
 D    G

                              D
Lying face up on the tracks
         C                  G     
Well you brought it here no 
          F
turning back
    Gm                 D
You brought it here no turning back

[Instrumental]
F Dm

[Chorus]
Gm      Dm
There's no slowing down now
              Bb
I'm a runaway train

My pistons are pounding
                          D
Brakes are screaming your name
                 Gm
And when there's nothing but 
wreckage and flames
         Dm
And your misery is all that remains
          Bb    C     Bb  Am
I'll feel human again
                  Dm
But I'm a runaway train
