[Verse 1]
E
Fire fighters at the station listen as the tone goes out

Fire alarms activated and building is showing smoke
           A                        E
And so the Engine rolls to trouble again
E
There's people at the scene just watchin'

People running out for their lives

The fire fighters get there and help them out

And go looking for more inside
                   A                             E
Cause that's just what they do, these women and men

[Chorus]
                  A                     E
Cause they made a promise and here they come
         A                 E
Someone hurtin' called 9-1-1
        F#m            A              B
And the siren's saying hope is on the way
          A              B               A/E      E
There's a hero racing to help a stranger today

[Verse 2]
E
Saturday night in the city, the cruiser gets a dispatched call

A little girl says her daddies mad

And drank a bunch of alcohol
            A                         E
And so they head away, into trouble again
E
The people at the house are screaming

And someone yells: " he's got a gun"

A little girl full of panic cries out: " Daddy don't you
shoot my mom"
                     A
And that's where the cops come in
                 E
These women and men

[Chorus]
                  A                     E
Cause they made a promise and here they come
         A                 E
Someone hurtin' called 9-1-1
        F#m            A              B
And the siren's saying hope is on the way
          A              B               A/E      E    E/G#
There's a hero racing to help a stranger today

[Bridge]
     A
When people in the world need savin'

The saviors who answer the call
          E
Don't get paid anymore for danger
                                       E/G#
Or get to pick the one's they want
          A
They just go to where the few will go

To maybe lay it all on the line
        B                    C#m
As they do their job, do it one more time

[Chorus]
                  A                     E
Cause they made a promise and here they come
         A                 E
Someone hurtin' called 9-1-1
        F#m            A              B
And the siren's saying hope is on the way
          A              B               E
There's a hero racing to help a stranger today
          A              B               A/E      E      A/E      E
