I Run for Life

It's been years since they told her about it,

the (A5)darkness her body possess'd.

And the scars are still there in the mirror

ev'ry day that she gets herself (B5)dressed.

Though the (C#5)pain is miles and miles behind her

and the (A5)fear is now a docile beast,

if you ask her why she is still running

she'll (B5)tell you it makes her complete.

I run for (E5)hope.

I run to feel.

I run for the (C#5)truth, for all (B5)that is (A5)real.

I run for your (E5)mother, your sister,

your (B5)wife.

I run for (C#5)you and me,

my (B5)friend.

I run for life.

It's a (E)blur since they told me about it,

how the (Asus2)darkness had taken its (E)toll.

And they cut into my skin.

And they (F#m11)cut into my body,

but they will (Asus2)never get a piece of my (Bsus)soul.

(B)And (C#m)now I'm still learning the lesson

to (Asus2)awake when I hear the call.

And if you ask me why I am still running,

I'll (Bsus)tell you I run for us (B)all.

I run for

(A5)I run for life.

Oh, oh,

oh, (C#5)oh,

oh, (F#5)oh,

oh, (A5)oh.

And (E5)someday if they tell you about it,

if the (A5)darkness knocks on your (E5)door,

remember her.

(F#5)Remember me.

(A5)We will be running as we have before.

Running for answers.

(B5)Running for more.

I run for (E5)hope.

I run to feel.
