[Intro]
D#


[Verse]
(D#)                                 Fm
It's been years since they told her about it
    G#                   D#
The darkness her body possessed
                                     Fm
And the scars are still there in the mirror
     G#                         A#
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
           Cm                     A#
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
        G#                    A#
And the fear is now a docile beast
       G#
If you ask her why she is still running
       A#                        \
She'll tell you it makes her complete


[Chorus]
          D#
I run for hope
         A#
I run to feel
              Cm
I run for the truth
                G#
For all that is real
               D#                         A#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Cm           G#~                D#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Verse]
(D#)                            Fm
It's a blur since they told me about it
        G#                      D#
How the darkness had taken its toll
                                   Fm
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
              G#                       A#
But they will never get a piece of my soul
    Cm                        A#
And now I'm still learning the lesson
   G#                     A#
To awake when I hear the call
           G#
And if you ask me why I am still running
     A#
I'll tell you I run for us all


[Chorus]
          D#
I run for hope
         A#
I run to feel
              Cm
I run for the truth
                G#
For all that is real
               D#                         A#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Cm           G#                 D#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Interlude]

[Verse]
        D#                     Fm
And someday if they tell you about it
       G#                       D#
If the darkness knocks on your door
                Fm
Remember her, remember me
G#
We will be running as we have before

Running for answers
A#               \
Running for more


[Chorus]
          D#
I run for hope
         A#
I run to feel
              Cm
I run for the truth
                G#
For all that is real
               D#                         A#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Cm           G#
I run for you and me my friend


[Chorus]
          D#
I run for hope
         A#
I run to feel
              Cm
I run for the truth
                G#
For all that is real
               D#                         A#
I run for your mother, your sister, your daughter, your wife
          Cm           G#                 D#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Outro]
D#  A#  Cm  G#
               D#                         A#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife

I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
