I RUN FOR LIFE

It’s been years since they told her a bout it,

the (A5)dark ness her bod y pos sess’d.

And the scars are still there in the mir ror

ev ’ry (A5)day that she gets her self (B5)dressed.

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

and the (A5)fear is now a do cile beast,

if you (A5)ask her why she is still run ning

she’ll (B5)tell you it makes her com plete.

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)moth er, your sis ter, 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 a bout it,

how the (Asus2)dark ness had tak en its (E)toll.

And they cut in to my skin.

And they (F#m11)cut in to my bod y, but they will (Asus2)nev er get a piece of my (Bsus)soul.

And (C#m)now I’m still learn ing the les son

to a (Asus2)wake when I hear the call.

And if you (Asus2)ask me why I am still run ning,

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

I run for

I run for life.

Oh,

And some (E5)day if they tell you a bout it,

if the (A5)dark ness knocks on your (E5)door,

re mem ber her.

(F#5)Re mem ber me.

(A5)We will be run ning as we have be fore.

Run ning for an swers.

(B5)Run ning for more.

I run for (E5)hope.
