[Intro]
D A D A
[Verse]
D It's gonna be a long one D Another graveyard shift G As he says goodbye A To his wife and kids Bm He spent his life G Just like his dad's D A Driving away D Under the weight of the badge
[Verse]
D He's seen it all D In his 15 years G Watching our backs A Facing our fears Bm Lord knows it ain't G No easy task D A Keeping us safe D Under the weight of the badge
[Chorus]
Am He swore that oath G To protect and serve D Pours his heart and soul A Into both those words Am Lays his life G On the line D The line he walks A Is razor fine Bm Tempered strength G Is always tough D A But he ain't gonna buckle D Under the weight of the badge
[Bridge]
G Not that long ago G He woke up in the hospital D With his wife and kids A D Praying by his bed G He said I'm gonna be alright G There's just sometimes you gotta fight D And the truth is A Nothing truer could be said Bm I do it for us G And I do it for them D A And I ain't gonna buckle D under the weight of the badge

[Outro]
C G It doesn't weigh a lot D Until you put it on D And the weight of it is staggering C G Then duty calls each time D He knows he's gotta answer D And it's all in the hand C And then the woo-ohhh G D The heavy weight of the badge D (no words) C And he ain't gonna buckle G D Under the weight of the badge D (no words) Am No he ain't gonna buckle G Under the weight... D Of the badge
