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

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

[Verse]

And someday if they tell you about it
D A
If the darkness knocks on your door
Bm
Remember her, remember me
D
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
E \
Running for more
[Chorus]

I run for hope

I run to feel
