Verse 1
 C         G
Lord I’m tired
F                C
So tired from travelling
F                   Am                G              F
This straight and narrow is so much harder than I thought
C        G
On this path
F              C
I’ve met both doubt and pain
F                 Am                        G               F
I’ve heard their voices say, ‘yeah you’ve given all you’ve got’


Pre-Chorus
G                     Am    
There’s a cloud of witnesses 
     F                       C   F 
The ones who’ve run this race
G                Am    
And even louder than my fears
          F     Am        F        (G)         
They’re crying while you lift your face


Chorus
       C             G    (Em)
Keep running, keep running
  F                C                 G
Don’t lose heart, don’t you give up now
       Am                 F
Don’t turn around you’ve got to find a way somehow
        C              G    (Em)
Keep reaching, keep fighting
     F            C              G
The pain cannot compare to the reward
     Am                    F 
That will be yours, that waits in store
                          C    (Em    G)     F
For those who just keep running


Verse 2
C               G
You’re on this road
F                 C
This fight for holiness
F              Am
I’ve struggled and I’ve bled
                G                   F
Through these dangers, thorns and snares
C           G
And I have foes
F             C
Their siren voices call
F                    Am                      G               F
Saying, ‘boy you’re bound to fall with that heavy cross you bear’


Pre-Chorus
G               Am                F                (C   F)
But I remember there was One who died to win this race
G                       Am                  F         Am       F      G         
He took the cross, He crushed the grave and oh I can hear my Saviour say


Chorus
       C             G    (Em)
Keep running, keep running
  F                 C                G
Don’t lose heart, don’t you give up now
       Am                 F
Don’t turn around you’ve got to find a way somehow
        C              G    (Em)
Keep reaching, keep fighting
     F            C              G
The pain cannot compare to the reward
      Am                   F 
That will be yours, that waits in store
                          C                        
For those who just keep running


Bridge
Dm      C     
Don’t turn aside
Am      G
No compromise
Dm    C                      G
Just lift your eyes to the glory that’s coming


Verse 3
C              G
If you’re like me
 F                 C
You feel like you can’t go on 
  F          Am                       G              F
You’ll never see the dawn and you’re just about to break
C           G
Don’t stop now
F                  C         F           Am
Know that every sacrifice, it’ll all be worth the price
           G               F
When you finally see His face


Chorus
             C            G      (Em)
Just keep running, keep running
  F                C                 G
Don’t lose heart, don’t you give up now
       Am                 F
Don’t turn around you’ve got to find a way somehow
      C           G   (Em)
Dig deeper, run harder
     F            C              G
The pain cannot compare to the reward
      Am                   F 
That will be yours, that waits in store
                      (Dm)
For those who just keep …


Outro

G        Am 
Til you hear ‘well done’
