[Intro]
G G
[Verse]
G
He Wakes Up Every Mornin'
Like He Always Does
Em
Tells His Kids That He Loves Em
And Gives His Wife a Hug
C
Tries Not to Think About It Too Much
But He Knows
G G
Today Might Be His Last
D C
But He Just Buttons Up His Shirt
G G
And Clips on His Badge
[Chorus]
G
He’s Runnin' Toward the Fire
Lookin' Down the Barrel of a Gun
Em7
Riskin' Everything He Has
Just So His Daughters and His Son
C D
Might Have a Chance to See a World
C
Without All This Hate
G
But Another Villain’s Born
For Every Person That He Saves
C
Don’t That Sound Great
Just Another Day
G G
Fighting for America
[Verse]
G
She's up before the sun
Lacin' up them boots
Em7
She'd love to call back home
Em
But she moves when they say move
C
As she sends up a prayer to God
G G
That this will be her last time
D C
But she just closes up her Bible
G G
And falls in line
[Chorus]
G
She’s Runnin' Toward the Fire
Lookin' Down the Barrel of a Gun
Em7
Riskin' Everything She Has
Em
Just So Her Daughter And Her Sons
C D
Might Have a Chance to See a World
C
Without All This Hate
G
But Another Flag Gets Burned
For Every Person That She Saves
C
Don’t That Sound Brave
Just Another Day
G
Fighting for America

[Verse]
G
He's been gone since he enlisted
It's been such a long time
Em
He finally made it home
And his mom and daddy cried
C
But they don't hold him close
G
As much as they'd like to now
D C
They just fold up his flag
N.C. G G
And lay him in the ground
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, He Ran Toward the Fire
Lookin' Down the Barrel of a Gun
Em
He gave Everything He Had
Just So Your Daughters and Your Sons
C D
Might Have a Chance to See a World
C
Without All This Hate
G
And He Never Asked For Nothing
Not Even A Little Thanks
C
Don’t That Sound Great
Just Another Day
G G
Fighting for America
C
Something's gotta Change
Before It's Too Late
G G G C
To Fight For America
