[Intro]
C#


[Verse]
(C#)                                 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
              A#m
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


[Outro]
C#  G#  A#m  F#
               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
