Song Title: I Run For Life 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
