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

[Verse]
A# Cm
And someday if they tell you about it
D# A#
If the darkness knocks on your door
Cm
Remember her, remember me
D#
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
F \
Running for more
[Chorus]
A#
I run for hope

I run to feel

I run for the truth
