For The Ones Who Run

Smalltown Poets


Tom: D

A               G             D
Nice day, for a tumble in the wind
A             G             D
Passé for the season coming in
Bm                 G                    D
We barely see them rolling in the dusty light
Bm         A            G
Crowns of death-defying life

[Chorus]
                 D            A        G7
For the ones who run (for the ones who run)
                D            A       G7
Oh, the race is on (for the ones who run)

[Verse 2]
A             G               D
Runway out of Memphis, flying again
A                G               D
Last day for the smile of a good friend
Bm                     G                          D
And I can just see you looking over at the canyon rim
         Bm              A             G
Is it as beautiful right now as it was then?

[Chorus]
                 D            A        G7
For the ones who run (for the ones who run)
                D            A       G7
Oh, the race is on (for the ones who run)
                 D            A        G7
For the ones who run (for the ones who run)
                D            A       G7       A
Oh, the race is on (for the ones who run)

[Instrumental]
D A G G   x3
D A G7 G7

[Bridge]
        D           A           G
Oh you gave me the keys are you left me a map
        D            A           G
And the memories are more than a photograph
       D         A             G               G7      G7
But it more than hurts that we never took that drive
         D           A                 G
When I'm feeling the grief that you're not coming back
        D               A            G
Fear is filling me with all of the days that I lack
     D         A               Bm            A
But it's your love that makes forever come alive
                  D
For the ones who run
D
(For the ones who run the the race is on)

For the ones who run the the race is on
D
(For the ones who run the the race is on)
                                     D       A
For the ones who run the the race is oooooooon
             D                    G
Forever come alive (forver come alive)

[Chorus]
                 D            A        G7
For the ones who run (for the ones who run)
                D            A       G7
Oh, the race is on (for the ones who run)
                 D            A        G7
For the ones who run (for the ones who run)
                D            A       G7       A
Oh, the race is on (for the ones who run)
