Capo IV

[Intro]
C

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

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

[Interlude]
C  C  F  F  Am  Am  Dm  Dm  F  F~

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

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

[Outro]
C  G  Am  F
               C                         G
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
          Am           F                 C~
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
