[Verse 1]
           F#m        E           
Seems like everyone I know longs 
       D
for the good life
             E                     
The smell of sweet success that 
       F#m        E/G#
they call happiness
   A                   E          
We keep our score with notches on 
    D
our silver belts
             E                E/D 
But torn and tattered sleeves can 
       C#
hide nobilities
             Dmaj7         
But it's the people that we 
               Amaj7
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       
Every passing hour we reach for 
       D
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#       
On the last page we will find our 
    D
legacy
   A     E           F#m
Oh oh we run for the roses

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

[Chorus 2]
F#m          E           D
Every day we run for the roses
      F#m             E       
Every passing hour we reach for 
       D
victory
             A             E
But when the final vote is cast
       F#m              C#m
And we see ourselves at last
   Dmaj7            C#            
We pray we like the portrait that 
   D
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      
I knew a man whose only goal was 
           D
fame and fortune
             E                  
There in the spotlight's glow he 
      F#m             E/G#
sacrificed his soul
      A              E            
So he found himself alone without 
     D
what matters most
               E               E/D
And that's the love he sought, not
     C#
 the battles fought
Dmaj7                   Amaj7
Somewhere east of eden, there at 
journey's end
     Bm                          
It's love alone that saves us, I 
C#
promise you my friend

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