Run for the Roses Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]RUN [C]FOR [Em]THE ROSES[D][C]
Seems like [Em]everyone I know
[D]Longs for the goo[C]d life
The smell of sweet [D]success
That they call [Em]happiness
[D]We kee[G]p our score wit[D]h notches on our
sil[C]ver belts but torn
And [D]tattered sleeves can hide no[B]bilities
but its the [C]people that we treasure the
[G]mo ments we defi ne that
[Am]gives us every
reason to [B]cross the fi nish line
[Em]Every day we [D]run for [C]the roses
Every [Em]passing hour we [D]reach for vic[C]tory
But when we [G]count up all
the [D]gold
Well it's the [Em]same old story told
[C]On the last page we will fi [B]nd our legacy[C]
oh [G]oh we [D]run for the roses
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Every day I rise to [D]hear the voices [C]telling
me don't be the [D]runner up go claim the
[Em]loving [D]cup so I [G]keep on moving [D]on the
only [C]way I know charging [D]straight ahead
just like a [B]thoroughbred
but it's the [C]riches
that we share with [G]family and friends the
[Am]love that fl ows between us that [B]matters
in the end
[Em]Every day we [D]run for [C]the roses
Every [Em]passing hour we [D]reach
for vic[C]tory
But when the [G]fi nal vote is [D]cast and we
[Em]see ourselves at l[Bm]ast we
[C]pray we like the
[B]portrait that [C]we see oh [G]oh we [D]run for the
[Em]roses. [C]Oh oh [G]we run[B][C][B]
[Em]
[D][C][Em][Am][B]
[C][D]
I knew a [Em]man whose only [D]goal was fame
and [C]fortune there [D]in the
spotlight's glow
he sacrifi [Em]ced his soul
[D]so he fou[G]nd himself
[D]alone without what [C]mat
ters most and
that's the [D]love he sought
not the [Em]battles
[B]fought [Em]somew[C]here east
of eden [G]there at
journey's end it's [Am]love alone that saves
us I [B]promise you my friend
[Em]Every day we [D]run for [C]the roses
Every [Em]passing hour we [D]reach for vic[C]tory
In[G]to this world we're [D]tossed
Till the [Em]fi nal bridge i[B]s crossed
[Bm]Where it all r[C]emains the
[B]greatest mys[C]tery[G]
still we [D]run for [Em]the roses[C][G][D][C][G]
[D][Em]
[C][G][D][C][G][D]
[Em]we r[C]un[G][D]
