Step in front of a runaway train
Just to feel alive again
Pushing forward through the night,
Aching chest and blurry sight
It's so far, so far away
It's so far, so far away
Cold wind blows into the skin
Can't believe the state you're in.
It's so far, so far away
It's so far, so far away
Who are you trying to impress
Steadily creating a mess?
Step in front of a runaway train
Just to feel alive again
Pushing forward through the night
Aching chest and blurry sight
Aching chest and blurry sight
Aching chest and blurry sight
Step in front of a runaway train
Just to feel alive again
Pushing forward through the night
Aching chest and blurry sight
Aching chest and blurry sight
Aching chest and blurry sight

Experiment and listen to the song to get the feel and the timings right
escpecially when you play the chords (like in the chorus and the interlude)

Pushing forward through the night,
Aching chest and blurry sight
It's so far, so far away

Cold wind blows into the skin
Can't believe the state you're in.
It's so far, so far away
