But we have the weights, we have the measures of our days and nights

F C Dm Bb

I’ve had my frustrations, but now I’ve found my place

Bb Dm F

And you will make it

But only if you run

Am Bb Dm F

Only if you run

Only if you run

Bb Dm F Am

F C Dm Bb

These lonely dedications I’ve found, they bring me peace and light

F C Dm Bb

When three-fold applications of doubt surround my fate, you might say

We have the weights, we have to wage an assault on what it is

F C Dm Bb

‘Cause harmless medications abound and you’re not sick

Bb Dm F

You will make it

Am Bb Dm F

But only if you run
