Artist: Melissa Etheridge
Tabbed By: Lindsay D.
Intro: E MajorE
Verse 1:
(E MajorE) F# minorF#m
It's been years since they told her about it
A augmentedA E MajorE
The darkness her body possessed
F# minorF#m
And the scars are still there in the mirror
A augmentedA BB
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
C# minorC#m BB
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
A augmentedA BB
And the fear is now a docile beast
A augmentedA
If you ask her why she is still running
BB
She'll tell you it makes her complete
Chorus:
E MajorE
I run for hope
BB
I run to feel
C# minorC#m
I run for the truth
A augmentedA
For all that is real
E MajorE BB
I run for your mother your sister your wife
C# minorC#m A augmentedA E MajorE
I run for you and me my friend I run for life
Verse 2:
(E MajorE) F# minorF#m
It's a blur since they told me about it
A augmentedA E MajorE
How the darkness had taken its toll
F# minorF#m
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
A augmentedA BB
But they will never get a piece of my soul
C# minorC#m BB
And now I'm still learning the lesson
A augmentedA BB
To awake when I hear the call
A augmentedA
And if you ask me why I am still running
BB
I'll tell you I run for us all
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental: E MajorE A augmentedA C# minorC#m F# minorF#m A augmentedA
E MajorE F# minorF#m
And someday if they tell you about it
A augmentedA E MajorE
If the darkness knocks on your door
F# minorF#m
Remember her remember me
A augmentedA
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
BB
Running for more
Repeat Chorus x2
Outro: E MajorE BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA
