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

Dm
It's a blur since they told me about it
F C
How the darkness had taken its toll
Dm
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
F G
But they will never get a piece of my soul
Am G
And now I'm still learning the lesson
F G
To awake when I hear the call
F
And if you ask me why I am still running
G
I'll tell you I run for us all
[Chorus]
C
I run for hope
G
I run to feel
Am
I run for the truth
F
For all that is real
C G
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
Am F C
I run for you and me my friend, I run for life
[Interlude]
C C F F Am Am Dm Dm F F~
[Verse]
C Dm
And someday if they tell you about it
F C
If the darkness knocks on your door
Dm
Remember her, remember me
F
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
G \
Running for more
[Chorus]
C
I run for hope
G
I run to feel
Am
I run for the truth

For all that is real

I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
