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

I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
Em C G
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life

And someday if they tell you about it
C G
If the darkness knocks on your door

We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
D \
Running for more
[Chorus]

I run for hope

I run to feel
