[capo 2]
I've seen them live and watched a video to confirm that this is how Emily plays it. Capo 2, starts in C
(relative to the capo) which makes it easier to "walk" down from C to B to A etc. Also they love the sound
of Fmaj7 which is in a lot of their songs. Enjoy!

[Intro]
C - C/B - Am7 - C/G F F / Dm Dm G G
[Verse]
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 a 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 to wait
C C/B Am7 C/G F
If you flying hope and blinders and young men to carry obtain
Dm Dm G
All the death and the glory, believing their one in 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
The sword and the shield, pursed upon saddles and reigns
C C/B Am7 C/G F
But the stampedes of thunder, the Calvary’s charge leads 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
C C/B Am7 C/G F
I said these days I'm saving my strength for running
