Artist: Melissa Etheridge
Tabbed By: Lindsay D.


Intro:  E  


Verse 1:

(E)                                 F#m
It's been years since they told her about it

    A                 E
The darkness her body possessed

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

     A                         B
Everyday that she gets herself dressed

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

        A                    B
And the fear is now a docile beast

       A
If you ask her why she is still running

       B
She'll tell you it makes her complete


Chorus:
          E
I run for hope

         B
I run to feel

              C#m
I run for the truth

                A
For all that is real

               E                       B
I run for your mother your sister your wife

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


Verse 2:

(E)                            F#m
It's a blur since they told me about it

        A                      E
How the darkness had taken its toll
 
                                   F#m
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body

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

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

   A                     B
To awake when I hear the call

           A
And if you ask me why I am still running

     B
I'll tell you I run for us all


Repeat Chorus


Instrumental:  E  A  C#m  F#m  A



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

       A                       E
If the darkness knocks on your door

             F#m
Remember her remember me

A
We will be running as we have before


Running for answers

B
Running for more
 

Repeat Chorus x2

Outro: E  B  C#m  A
