[Intro]
F# C D
[Verse 1]
Gm Dm
I always knew that you were hiding something from me
C Dm
I always knew you're not what you pretend to be
I always knew that all your lies would come to light one day
G Gm
But I never knew what it could do to 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 Eb
I never knew that all my love could 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 D G
None of that will help you now
D
Lying face up on the tracks
C G F
Well you brought it here no 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
Ending
Bb
