It's been years since they told [F#] her about it
[A] The darkness her body [E] possessed and the scars are still there [F#] in the mirror
[E] Every day that she gets herself dressed
Though [C#m] the pain is miles and [G#m] miles behind her [A] and the fear is now a [B] docile beast
[A] If you ask her why she is still running
[E] She'll tell you it [B] makes her complete.
I run for hope
I [B] run to feel
I run [C#m] for the truth
For all [A] that is real
I run [E] for your loyal sister
[B] I [C#m] run for you and me my [A] friend
I [E] run for life
I run for you and me my friend
It's been years since they told me [F#m] about it
[E] How the darkness had taken its toll
And they cut into my skin
[C#] And they cut into my body
[A] But they will never get a piece [E] of my [B] soul
[C#m] And now I'm still [G#m] learning the lesson
To [A] awake when I [B] hear the call
[A] And if you ask me why I am still running
[B] I'll tell you I run for a soul
I [E] run for hope
I [B] run to feel
I run [C#m] for the truth
For all [E] that is real
I run for your loyal sister [B] Your wife
I [C#m] run for you and me my [A] friend
I [E] run for life

[C#] [F#m]

[E] And someday if they tell [F#] you about it
[A] If the darkness knocks [E] on your door
Remember her [G#] Remember me
[A] We will be running as we have before
Running for [B] answers
Running for [C#] more
[E] I [B] run to feel
I run for [C#m] the truth
For all [E] that is real
I run for your loyal sister
[B] Your wife
I run [C#m] for you and me my [E] friend
I run for hope
I run [B] to feel
