[Verse 1]
         C          C/B         Am7          C/G        F
Well I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
    Dm                     Dm                           G
The fire in the sky, a dim light in my eye that's long faded
        C          C/B         Am7           C/G             F
And I stood where heroes have fallen, their names turned to stone
    Dm                     Dm                       G
Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known

[Chorus]
         Am        C           Fmaj7
Now I'm saving my strength for running
        C       C/B       Am7     C/G      F
These days I'm saving my strength     for running

[Verse 2]
          C      C/B        Am7     C/G        F
From the age of kings, when pride decided all fate
        Dm                      Dm                    G
Long before war machines took charge and I was still 'wake
           C             C/B         Am7          C/G      F
It was blind hope and blinders, with young men to carry between
         Dm            Dm                                G
All the death and the glory, believin' they're one and the same

[Chorus]
         Am        C            Fmaj7
Now I'm saving my strength for running
        C       C/B       Am7     C/G      F
These days I'm saving my strength     for running

[Verse 3]
           C          C/B         Am7          C/G        F
Yes I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
           Dm              Dm                           G
With the sword and the shield, perched upon saddles and reins
           C           C/B         Am7       C/G             F
But the stampedes of thunder, the Calvary’s charge leaves me now
          Dm                     Dm              G
And your last war will come, but I cannot follow you down

[Chorus]
         Am        C            Fmaj7
No I'm saving my strength for running
        C       C/B       Am7     C/G      F
These days I'm saving my strength     for running
              Am      C/B        C             F
I said these days I'm saving my strength   for running
