Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Love  the run but not the race
All  alone in a silent way
World  drifts in and the world's a stranger
 In a light, eclipsed  and alienated
 In a time,  occupied and invaded
Can't  tell what's right,  better hit the ground  running
In  the hills where the tall weed grows
Hands  are tied and won't let go
Can't  escape this place without leaving the world behind
 In a light,  ashamed and humiliated
 In a time, sacrificed  for the sake of  trade
The  soul is bent, feels  the weight of  truth
Falling  through
Left  behind,  no choice but to run  to the mountains
Where  no poppies grow, you  have to hit the ground running
In  a light, paralyzed  and spirits fading
Out  of time, must decide  to fall or run
Into  the eye,  of the storm  no sign or omen
Make  it right,  or fall to the other  side
 Where fields are burning
 From the day you're born
 We always hit the ground running.
