[Intro]
A#


[Verse]
(A#)                                 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


[Interlude]
A#  A#  D#  D#  Gm  Gm  Cm  Cm  D#  D#~


[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
         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#
I run for you and me my friend


[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 daughter, your wife
          Gm           D#                 A#
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life


[Outro]
A#  F  Gm  D#
               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
