| Somehow I'm neither here nor there |

| Make it all somehow seem worthwhile |
| Am |
| How on earth did I get so jaded? |

| I know what no one else knows |
| Am |
| Here I am just drownin' in the rain |
| G |
| With a ticket for a runaway train |
| F | G | |
| Eve | rything is cut | and dry |
| C | Am | |

| Wrong way on a one way track |
| Am |
| Seems like I should be getting somewhere |
| G |

(Runaway train)
| G |
| Runaway but it always seems the same. |
