I Run For Life

[E]

I[E]t's been years since they told her [F#m]about it

The [A]darkness her body [E]possessed

And the scars are still there in the [F#m]mirror

Every[A]day that she gets herself [B]dressed

Though the [C#m]pain is miles and miles [B]behind her

And the [A]fear is now a docile [B]beast

If you [A]ask her why she is still running

She'll [B]tell you it makes her complete

I run for [E]hope

I run to [B]feel

I run for the [C#m]truth

For all that is [A]real

I run for your [E]mother your sister your [B]wife

I run for [C#m]you and me my [A]friend I run for [E]life

I[E]t's a blur since they told me [F#m]about it

How the [A]darkness had taken its [E]toll

And they cut into my skin and they [F#m]cut into my body

But they will [A]never get a piece of my [B]soul

And [C#m]now I'm still learning the [B]lesson

To [A]awake when I hear the [B]call

And if you [A]ask me why I am still running

I'll [B]tell you I run for us all

Repeat Chorus

[E]  [A]  [C#m]  [F#m]  [A]

And [E]someday if they tell you [F#m]about it

If the [A]darkness knocks on your [E]door

Remember her [F#m]remember me

[A]We will be running as we have before

Running for answers

[B]Running for more

Repeat Chorus x2

[E]  [B]  [C#m]  [A]
