Marathon Runner

Am           C      F
When I was a boy of seventeen

  F
I know it's mean, but I

Am        C                 F
I told my friend to give up on her dreams

    F
She hated me, but I

Am         C                   F
I knew the dreams were for the best of us

            F
And for the rest of us, and I

Am       C                F           F
I didn't wanna share with anyone

Am       C             F
I need a way to see my greatest dance

    F
and make them laugh

Am              C                F
I could win the wars or lose the battles, too

F
Whichever's true

Am            C              F
I can live in other peoples' lives

             F                         Am
I can't stop putting on other peoples' clothes

  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
