[Verse 1]
           F#m        E                  D
Seems like everyone I know longs for the good life
             E                            F#m        E/G#
The smell of sweet success that they call happiness
   A                   E              D
We keep our score with notches on our silver belts
             E                E/D        C#
But torn and tattered sleeves can hide nobilities
             Dmaj7                        Amaj7
But it's the people that we treasure, the moments we define
     Bm                       C#
That gives us every reason to cross the finish line

[Chorus 1]
F#m          E           D
Every day we run for the roses
      F#m             E              D
Every passing hour we reach for victory
            A                E
But when we count up all the gold
              F#m            C#m
Well it's the same old story told
       Dmaj7             C#           D
On the last page we will find our legacy
   A     E           F#m
Oh oh we run for the roses

[Verse 2]
      F#m           E               D
Every day I rise to hear the voices telling me
             E                       F#m         E/G#
Don't be the runner up, go claim the loving cup
Continúa después del anuncio
     A              E           D
So I keep on moving on the only way I know
         E              E/D         C#
Charging straight ahead just like a thoroughbred
             Dmaj7                     Amaj7
But it's the riches that we share with family and friends
    Bm                              C#
The love that flows between us that matters in the end

[Chorus 2]
F#m          E           D
Every day we run for the roses
      F#m             E              D
Every passing hour we reach for victory
             A             E
But when the final vote is cast
       F#m              C#m
And we see ourselves at last
   Dmaj7            C#               D
We pray we like the portrait that we see
   A     E           F#m    D
Oh oh we run for the roses
   A     C#
Oh oh we run

[Verse 3]
         F#m            E                 D
I knew a man whose only goal was fame and fortune
             E                        F#m             E/G#
There in the spotlight's glow he sacrificed his soul
      A              E                 D
So he found himself alone without what matters most
               E               E/D     C#
And that's the love he sought, not the battles fought
Dmaj7                   Amaj7
Somewhere east of eden, there at journey's end
     Bm                          C#
It's love alone that saves us, I promise you my friend

[Chorus 2]
F#m          E           D
Every day we run for the roses
      F#m             E              D
Every passing hour we reach for victory
  A                   E
Into this world we're tossed
         F#m             C#m
Till the final bridge is crossed
         Dmaj7           C#            D
Where it all remains the greatest mystery
   A           E           F#m    D
Oh oh still we run for the roses
   A     E    D
Oh oh we run
   A     E           F#m    D
Oh oh we run for the roses
   A     E    D
Oh oh we run
   A     E           F#m    D  A
Oh oh we run for the roses
   E
We run
