[Intro]
G


[Verse]
(G)                                 Am
It's been years since they told her about it
    C                   G
The darkness her body possessed
                                     Am
And the scars are still there in the mirror
     C                         D
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
           Em                     D
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
        C                    D
And the fear is now a docile beast
       C
If you ask her why she is still running
       D                        \
She'll tell you it makes her complete


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


[Verse]
(G)                            Am
It's a blur since they told me about it
        C                      G
How the darkness had taken its toll
                                   Am
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
              C                       D
But they will never get a piece of my soul
    Em                        D
And now I'm still learning the lesson
   C                     D
To awake when I hear the call
           C
And if you ask me why I am still running
     D
I'll tell you I run for us all


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


[Interlude]
G  G  C  C  Em  Em  Am  Am  C  C~


[Verse]
        G                     Am
And someday if they tell you about it
       C                       G
If the darkness knocks on your door
                Am
Remember her, remember me
C
We will be running as we have before

Running for answers
D               \
Running for more


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


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


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