This is What I'm Fighting For
Song is originally played in C major and seems fairly easy. I could be missing some 
in between (Steven Curtis Chapman aways adds little chords here and there).
Intro:
F  C  F  C  G
waFtch anC/Eother sun fall on the desert sand
FAnd sC/Elowly GI can feel the ache returning to my heart
FI heaC/Erd somebody say today we lost a man
GAnd eAmverybody's got their own opinion
GOn wheF/Ather G/Bit's a good or bad thing we're doing over here
(Chorus)
BuCt thereG/B's a little girl in Georgia lying in her bed tonight
WhiAmle her Gmother holds her close and whispers, "It's gonna be alright"
And thFey'll pray themselves to sleep
And Gdream FaboC/Eut the day when I'll come walking back through the door
F'CauGse C/Fthis is what I'm fighting for
We passed another playground on the road today
A little group of girls looked up and waved at us and smiled
I think it's in their eyes I see the biggest change
Still everybody's got their own opinion
I can see the good and bad but when I close my eyes...
I see a little girl in Georgia lying in her bed tonight
While her mother holds her close and whispers, "It's gonna be alright"
And they'll pray themselves to sleep
And dream about the day when I'll come walking back through the door
'Cause this is what I'm fighting for
I know everybody's got their own opinion
I'm just here to do my job and I can't wait to get  home
To that little girl in Georgia lying in her bed tonight
While her mother holds her close and whispers, "It's gonna be alright"
So I'll pray myself to sleep and dream about the day when I'll go running back through 
door
Back to what I'm fighting for
This is what I'm fighting for
