I've goG#ne down from the mountains looking for a cure. 
I cFmame across the desert, hC#ere to your front door.
G#Rolling with the punches, falling beneath the blows, 
FmFighting through most anything C#tearing up my soul. I wanna rG#un.
G#I wanna run, FmI wanna faC#ll into your armsG#.
So, lay my Fmhead down, I wanna waC#ke, there in your arG#ms.
I neeG#ded to forgive you. I needed to throw it down. 
InFmto the depths of the sea that forgets these things, benC#eath the walls of sound 
that siG#ng for all us sinners, and sing for all our lives.
FmWrap this song around our hearts, C#may it bind us tight.
Now, I G#can barely remember just what we started for. 
FmBut, I found some grace there in your arms, I'm cC#oming back for more, I’m gonna rG#un.
G#I wanna run, FmI wanna faC#ll into your armsG#.
So, lay my Fmhead down, I wanna waC#ke, there in your arG#ms.
I loG#ng to view forever through the twinkling of an eye. 
I loFmng to find a song of hope and lC#ay down by your side.
A soG#ng for all the weeping, a song for all the tears. 
I'Fmll sing for you to carry me, I'll siC#ng One Thousand Years, I wanna G#run.
G#I wanna run, FmI wanna faC#ll into your armsG#.
So, lay my Fmhead down, I wanna waC#ke, there in your arG#ms.
