G C G C G C G D
[Verse]
That GOld alarm was sounding, And he Dknew he had to go
But all Emhe could think about, were his Clittle girls at Dhome
He Gsigned on to this job, YeaDh to help the ones in need
But everyEmtime he ran into that fire, He Cknew he might not Dleave
He doesn't Gwant any money, For the Dthings he trained to do
He wants to Emhelp the ones in need, he wants to Csee the whole job Dthrough
He's well Gaware of the costs, That it Dtakes to save a life
But Emthat doesn't matter, To the Cman he is insDide
Yeah, CWe all need to Dsing, that firefighter's Gsong.
[Verse]
When that Gman pulled up on scene, All he Dheard were those kids screaming
He ran Emright through the front door, To Csave a few young Ddreams
A Gfew moments later, That Dhouse it had collapsed
He'd never Emgo back home again, To Chang out with his GkidsD.
[Chorus]
He didn't Gwant any money, For the Dthings he trained to do
He Emhelped the ones in need, and he Csaw the whole job Dthrough
Well Gaware of the costs, That it Dtakes to save a life
But Emthat didn't matter, when the Cfamily was inDside
Yeah, CWe all need to Dsing, that firefighter's Gsong.
[Bridge]
I Emhate to be the Cone to bring up, DAll this sad and bad news
But that Emman will never Chave again, The Dthings that you and I do
He was Emtaken from his kiCds and wife, While Dhelping a family
So Amplease sit back, and Gthank the lord , There's more Cmen like him, that DbreatheE  
[Outro]
They don't wAant any money, For the Ethings they train to do
They F#mhelp the Aones in F#mneed, And they Dsee the whole job Ethrough
Well Aaware of the costs, That it Etakes to save a life
But F#mthat doesn't matter, To the Dones they are Einside
Yeah, BmWe all need to Esing, Yeah Bmwe all need to Esing
