(Verse)
He (G)wakes up every morning like he always does
Tells his (Em)kids that he loves ‘em and gives his wife a hug
Tries not to (C)think about it too much
But (C)he knows today might be his (G)last
But he just (D)buttons up his shirt
(C) And clips on his (G)badge

(Chorus)
He’s (G)running toward the fire, looking down the barrel of a gun
Risking (Em)everything he has, just so his daughters and his son
Might have a (C)chance to see a world without all this hate
But an-(G)other villain’s born for every person that he saves
Don’t that sound (C) great just another day, fighting for (G)America

(Verse)
She's (G)up before the sun, lacung up them boots
She'd (Em)love to call back home, but she moves when they say move
As she (C)sends up a prayer to God that this will be her last (G) time
But she just (D)closes up her bible (C) and falls in (G)line

(Chorus)
She’s (G)running toward the fire looking down the barrel of a gun
Risking (Em)everything she has just so her daughter and her sons
Might (C)have a chance to see a world without all this hate
But an-(G)other flag gets burned for every person that she saves
Don’t that (C)sound great just another day, fighting for (G)America

(Verse)
He's been (G)gone since he enlisted, it's been such a long time
He (Em)finally made it home and his mom and daddy cried
But (C)they don't hold him close as much as they'd like (G)to now
They just (D)fold up his flag (C) and lay him in the ground (G) / / / |(G) / /

(Chorus)
Yeah, he ran toward the fire, looking Down the barrel of a gun
He gave (Em)everything he had just so your (D)daughters and your sons
Might have a (C)chance to see a world without all this hate
And he (G)never asked for nothing, not even a little thanks
Don’t that sound (C) great just another day, fighting (G)for America
Something's gotta (C)Change,
Before it's too late, to Fight For A-(G)merica / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) - - - - -
