D#m
It's been years since they told her about it
F# C#
The darkness her body possessed
D#m
And the scars are still there in the mirror
F# G#
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
A#m G#
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
F# G#
And the fear is now a docile beast
F#
If you ask her why she is still running
G# \
She'll tell you it makes her complete
[Chorus]
C#
I run for hope
G#
I run to feel
A#m
I run for the truth
F#
For all that is real
C# G#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
A#m F#~ C#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Verse]
(
C#)
D#m
It's a blur since they told me about it
F# C#
How the darkness had taken its toll
D#m
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
F# G#
But they will never get a piece of my soul
A#m G#
And now I'm still learning the lesson
F# G#
To awake when I hear the call
F#
And if you ask me why I am still running
G#
I'll tell you I run for us all
[Chorus]
C#
I run for hope
G#
I run to feel
A#m
I run for the truth
F#
For all that is real
C# G#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
A#m F# C#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Interlude]
C# C# F# F# A#m A#m D#m D#m F# F#~
[Verse]
C# D#m
And someday if they tell you about it
F# C#
If the darkness knocks on your door
D#m
Remember her, remember me
F#
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
G# \
Running for more
[Chorus]
C#
I run for hope
G#
I run to feel
A#m
I run for the truth
F#
For all that is real
C# G#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
A#m F#
I run for you and me my friend
[Chorus]
C#
I run for hope
G#
I run to feel

I run for the truth
F#
For all that is real
C# G#
I run for your mother, your sister, your daughter, your wife
A#m F# C#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
