[Intro]
B


[Verse]
(B)                                 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]
(B)                            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
              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
I run for you and me my friend


[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 daughter, your wife
          G#m           E                 B
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Outro]
B  F#  G#m  E
               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
