Capo 1
       F
Intro: 
Verse:
F
Seventeen years by her side
               Am
Broke the same bread
               C
Wore the same clothes and we said
      F
We're sisters with nothing between
             Am
If one of us fall
               C              F Am C  F Am C
The other will soon be following
F
Both of you fell the same day
               Am
You don't know why
           C
One of you never woke up
        F
And you laid your body down on the floor
                    Am                 C
You're desperate to hear her footsteps again
                     G                F
But this house is on fire, we need to go
Pre Chorus:
 Am                          C             G
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone
Chorus:
             C
Run for your life, my love
            G
Run and you don't give up
                  F
It's all that you are
             Am
All that you want
          C       G
I will be close behind
                F
Run for your life
Verse:
F
She had a fire inside
                 Am
And that terrified you
                    C                     F
You swore that you'd never lose your control
Baby, let yourself go
                   Am
'cause part of you hides
               C                        G
And I know the hunger inside of you's strong
                                 F
You can only hold back the river so long
Pre Chorus:
 Am                          C      G
Oh, you don't have to go it alone
 Am                          C             G
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone
Chorus:
             C
Run for your life, my love
            G
Run and you don't give up
             F
All that you are
             Am
All that you want
             C
Run for your life right now
           G
And if you don't know how
                    F                       Am
I'll come back with you and take all that's true
                     C         G
And leave all that's burned behind
                 F C
Run for your life
Pre Chorus:
Am                          C     G
Oh, you don't have to go it alone
      C             G
Go it alone, go it alone,
Chorus:
             C
Run for your life, my love
            G
Run and you don't give up
             F
All that you are
             Am
All that you want
             C
Run for your life right now
           G
And if you don't know how
                    F                       Am
I'll come back with you and take all that's true
                 C         G
Leave all that's burned behind
