[Intro]
D


[Verse]
(D)                                 Em
It's been years since they told her about it
    G                   D
The darkness her body possessed
                                     Em
And the scars are still there in the mirror
     G                         A
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
           Bm                     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
              Bm
I run for the truth
                G
For all that is real
               D                         A
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Bm           G~                D
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Verse]
(D)                            Em
It's a blur since they told me about it
        G                      D
How the darkness had taken its toll
                                   Em
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
              G                       A
But they will never get a piece of my soul
    Bm                        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
              Bm
I run for the truth
                G
For all that is real
               D                         A
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Bm           G                 D
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Interlude]
D  D  G  G  Bm  Bm  Em  Em  G  G~


[Verse]
        D                     Em
And someday if they tell you about it
       G                       D
If the darkness knocks on your door
                Em
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
              Bm
I run for the truth
                G
For all that is real
               D                         A
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Bm           G
I run for you and me my friend


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


[Outro]
D  A  Bm  G
               D                         A
