Em7   D   Cadd9

Em7          D         Cadd9
He takes all this criticism
Em7             D             Cadd9
From those who never played the game
Em7            D         Cadd9
No matter how hard they hit him
Em7                   Cadd9
he keeps on playing through the pain
Em7                 Cadd9
When they lose he takes the blame
Cadd9  Em7    D
Old   number nine

[Chorus]
        Em7
For the love they live
         Cadd9
for the love they die
    Em7            Cadd9
No higher calling in this life
Em7      Cadd9    D            Cadd9
There's nothing they can't rise above
           Em7            Cadd9
Cause it's not about rich it's not about poor
Em7                   Cadd9
Counting the cost and keeping score
     D    Cadd9     Em7   D   Cadd9
They do it for the love

Em7          D         Cadd9
I know this cop in Cincinatti
Em7         D          Cadd9
Born into money and prestige
Em7                D      Cadd9
He could be living off of Daddy
Em7                        Cadd9
But instead he's out there on the beat
Em7                Cadd9
Protecting serving you and me
Cadd9       Em7   D
Badge forty fifty seven

[Chorus]
Em7                 Cadd9
He's in your heart he's your best friend
D                  Cadd9
He won't break no he won't bend
Em7            Cadd9           D
Look around you'll see he's in each of us

[Chorus]
       D     Cadd9    Em7   D   Cadd9
We all do it for the love
    Em7
The love
                x2
Em7   D   Cadd9
