I told my friend to give up on her dreams

and make them laugh
Am C F
I could win the wars or lose the battles, too

I love them 'til I leave
Chorus
C
I am a marathon runner
G F
And my legs are sore
Em Dm
And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for

I am a hot air ball0on

On a sailboat

I would make this my home if I'd learned to float

So take my treasures, take my earthly life,

I'll try to cry,

F
The heads of kings
Am C F
I will run until I know what to believe
