Em
It's been years since they told her about it
G D
The darkness her body possessed
Em
And the scars are still there in the mirror
G A
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
Bm A
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
G A
And the fear is now a docile beast
G
If you ask her why she is still running
A \
She'll tell you it makes her complete
[Chorus]
D
I run for hope
A
I run to feel
Bm
I run for the truth
G
For all that is real
D A
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
Bm G~ D
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Verse]

Em
It's a blur since they told me about it
G D
How the darkness had taken its toll
Em
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
G A
But they will never get a piece of my soul
Bm A
And now I'm still learning the lesson
G A
To awake when I hear the call
G
And if you ask me why I am still running
A
I'll tell you I run for us all
[Chorus]
D
I run for hope
A
I run to feel
Bm
I run for the truth
G
For all that is real

I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
Bm G D
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Interlude]
D D G G Bm Bm Em Em G G~
[Verse]
D Em
And someday if they tell you about it
G D
If the darkness knocks on your door
Em
Remember her, remember me
G
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
A \
Running for more
[Chorus]
D
I run for hope
A
I run to feel
Bm
I run for the truth
G
For all that is real
