I told my friend to give up on her dreams
F
She hated me, but I
Am C F

Whichever's true
Am C F

C F F
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
C
I am a hot air ball0on
G
On a sailboat
F Em Dm
I would make this my home if I'd learned to float

Am C F
So take my treasures, take my earthly life,
F
I'll try to cry,
Am C F
I will live without the things I love the best
F
So hold them to your chest
Am C F
I will lose my faces, lose my stolen wigs,
F
The heads of kings
Am C F F
I will run until I know what to believe
