Dear Congress, (17) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][Am][G]
[C]
No [Am]hands to warm,

[Verse 1]
[C]
no bedtime [Am]story, no lullaby
No little steps in the middle of the [G]night[C]
[Am]And the nation's numb,
is this what our forefathers had in mind?
What is happening in Washing[G]ton?
[E]'Cause it's not enough

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Your thoughts [G]and prayers
You send your [C]love, you say [Am]you care
But you are [F]not [G]my baby
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[Am]Oh but my heart has di[C]ed
[Am]Standing alone in an empty room
[C]Excep[Am]t for my child but she's
not [G]really [C]there
And all the [Am]people have gone

[Verse 4]
[C]
And I want to [Am]pick her up
and take her [C]home
[Am]Can't bear to leave her [G]here
[Abdim]It's not enough

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Your thoughts and [G]prayers
You send [C]your love, you say [Am]you care
But you [F]are not [G]my [C]baby[Am]
[C][Am][C][Am][G][Abdim]

[Verse 6]
[F]
Oh bless the [G]child
Oh rest their [Am]souls
I bet those [G]law [Bdim]maker s [C]don'[Em]t know[F]
This feeling [G]that it's not
[D]enough
Your thoughts and [G]prayers
You send your [C]love, you say [Am]you care
But you are [F]not [G]my [C]baby
Can you do [Am]something
So that there's [F]not more [G]gone babies
