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
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/melissa-etheridge/65348.html ]
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
