C#m
It's been years since they told her about it
E B
The darkness her body possessed
C#m
And the scars are still there in the mirror
E F#
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
G#m F#
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
E F#
And the fear is now a docile beast
E
If you ask her why she is still running
F# \
She'll tell you it makes her complete
[Chorus]
B
I run for hope
F#
I run to feel
G#m
I run for the truth
E
For all that is real
B F#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
G#m E~ B
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Verse]

C#m
It's a blur since they told me about it
E B
How the darkness had taken its toll
C#m
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
E F#
But they will never get a piece of my soul
G#m F#
And now I'm still learning the lesson
E F#
To awake when I hear the call
E
And if you ask me why I am still running
F#
I'll tell you I run for us all
[Chorus]
B
I run for hope
F#
I run to feel
G#m
I run for the truth
E
For all that is real
B F#
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
G#m E B
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Interlude]
B B E E G#m G#m C#m C#m E E~
[Verse]
B C#m
And someday if they tell you about it
E B
If the darkness knocks on your door
C#m
Remember her, remember me
E
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
F# \
Running for more
[Chorus]
B
I run for hope
F#
I run to feel

I run for the truth
