[Verse]
D G
It was a dark and stormy night Nor'Easter rollin' in
D A
it's a long twelve hours the power's out again
D G
I pray for inner strength and that we don't lose no lives
D A D
just another day in a first responders eyes
[Verse 2]
D G
half a cup of coffee's gone the first run comes in
D A
a car slid off the road there's a family trapped within
D G
my heart beats like a hammer i can barely catch my breath
D A D
i'm thinking the worst and hoping for the best
[Chorus]
A D
cause we ain't super heroes we're just ordinary people
G A
trying to make a difference and the first on every scene
A D
it's a heavy heavy burden to carry all this hurting
G A
when you can't unsee the things you've seen
D
it keeps going on
A
when those sirens are gone
[Instrumental]
D G
[Verse 3]
D G
now my shift is finally over I gotta deal with what's mine
D A
try to find a way to leave those tragedies behind
D G
so i hug my two children i kiss on my wife
D A D
just another day in a first responders life
[Chorus]
A D
cause we ain't super heroes we're just ordinary people
G A
trying to make a difference and the first on every scene
A D
it's a heavy heavy burden to carry all this hurting
G A
when you can't unsee the things you've seen
D
it keeps going on
A D
when those sirens are gone
[Bridge]
A D
flashing lights fill the air broken bodies everywhere
G D G A
another bad dream is stealing my sleep
[Chorus]
(picking)
A D
cause we ain't super heroes we're just ordinary people
G A
trying to make a difference and the first on every scene
(strumming)
A D
it's a heavy heavy burden to carry all this hurting
G A
when you can't unsee the things you've seen
D
it keeps going on
A
when those sirens are gone
[Outro]
D
it keeps going on
A
when those sirens are gone
