Dear Congress

C Am C Am C Am G


[Verse 1]
C       Am
No hands to warm
C           Am          C
No bedtime story, no lullaby
    Am                                G
No little steps in the middle of the night
 C               Am
And the nation's numb
 C              Am                  C
Is this what our forefathers had in mind
     Am               G
What is happening in Washington


[Chorus]
Em             Am
'Cause it's not enough
                   G
Your thoughts and prayers
                C
You send your love
             Am
You say you care
            F      G
But you are not my baby


[Verse 2]
 C                   Am
Oh but my heart has died
 C                      Am
Standing alone in an empty room
  C                  Am             G
Except for my child but she's not really there
  C                   Am
And all the people have gone
   C                  Am                 C
And I want to pick her up and take her home
     Am                     G
I can't bear to leave her here


[Chorus]
Em           Am
It's not enough
                   G
Your thoughts and prayers
                C
You send your love
            Am
You say you care
            F       G
But you are not my baby

[Bridge]
F                 G                 Am
Oh bless the child, oh rest their souls
                Em            F
I bet those lawmakers don't know
  G
This feeling that...


[Chorus]
           D
It's not enough
                   G
Your thoughts and prayers
                C
You send your love
             Am
You say you care
             F          G
But you are not my baby
 C               Am
Can you do something
                    F             G
So that there's not more gone babies
