C      Am


[Verse 1]
C
Late one night headin on home, driving too fast, radio on
Am
Huggin that curve a little too tight now he's hanging on for his life
G                                F
Upside down and all alone hoping he could reach his phone


[Verse 2]
C
80 years old watching TV, all of a sudden it's hard to breath
    Am
She tries to get up then hits the ground, wheel of fuortune spins around
      G
Sends up a prayer, thouht this is it
       F
As she pushed the button around her neck


[Chorus]
C
They're the ones behind the scenes
                  C/E  Csus2/D
Every day and night
     Am
That friendly voice, you need to hear
                              A5  G5
When you're fighting for your life
   F
Not every angel wears their wings but they are always there for you and me
   Am
To them it's just a job after all
                     C
When they answer the call.


[Verse 3]
C
911 what's your emergency, she said "I'd like to order a pizza please"
     Am
"But ma'am you reached 911", she said, "I know can you say how long?"
 G
"Ma'am is everything okay?
          F
"No, it's 413 Maple Way"


[Verse 4]
          C
"Is there someone with you in the room you can't talk about?"
           Am
She said, "Yes sir, pepperoni please how long will it be now?"
             G
"I've got an officer a mile away, can you stay on the line?"
           F
She said, "No, thanks, I'll see you soon, I'll turn on my porch light"


[Chorus]
C
They're the ones behind the scenes
                  C/E  Csus2/D
Every day and night
     Am
That friendly voice, you need to hear
                              A5  G5
When you're fighting for your life
   F
Not every angel wears their wings but they are always there for you and me
   Am
To them it's just a job after all
                     C
When they answer the call


[Interlude]
C     Am
F     G


[Chorus]
C
They're the ones behind the scenes
                   C/E  Csus2/D
Every day and night
     Am
That friendly voice, you need to hear when you're fighting for your life
   F
Not every angel wears their wings but they are always there for you and me
   Am
To them it's just a job after all
                     C
When they answer the call
                     Am
When they answer the call


[Coda]
F         G
Oooh  ooh ooh
                C
They answer the call.
