[Intro] | G | Cadd9 G | Cadd9 G | D G | [Verse 1]
                  G
Tonight they're shutting down the borders

             Cadd9            G
And they've boarded up the schools

                 Em               D
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks,

                            G
One last paycheck coming through

               G
I know you're feeling kinda nervous

             Cadd9         G
We're all a little bit confused

    Em               D
Nothin's the same, this ain't a game

                     G
We got to make it through
[Instrumental] | G | Cadd9 G | [Verse 2]
       G
As we wait outside the window

       Cadd9            G
Older loved ones stay inside

          Em           D
Moms and babies blowing kisses

                        G
Maybe saving someone's life

             G
They had to cancel graduation

          Cadd9             G
It ain't fair to scrap the prom

              Em         D
Our kids sit home in isolation

                       G
Evening news is always on
[Chorus]
                G                   Cadd9       G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can

     Em                     D                             G
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought I'm wanting to send

               G                                 Cadd9     G
Round here we bend but don't break, down here we all understand

                Em          D                   G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can
[Instrumental] | G | Cadd9 G | [Verse 3]
      G                               Cadd9      G
The chicken farm from Akansas bought workers P.P.E

       Em       D                            G
Not before 500 more had succumbed to this disease

                                      Cadd9         G
Honest men and honest women, working for an honest wage

         Em              D
I got a hundred point 1 fever

                           G
And we still got bills to pay
[Chorus]
                G                   Cadd9      G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can

     Em                     D                             G
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought I'm wanting to send

               G                                 Cadd9     G
Round here we bend but don't break, down here we all understand

                Em          D                   G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can

They built a hospital on East Meadow in Central Park last night

Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks manning the front line

         Am7
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson

            G/B
They turned off the Broadway lights

        C
Another ambulance screams by

               D
There by the grace of God go I
[Verse 4]
               G
Although I'll keep my social distance

           Cadd9            G
What this world needs is a hug

          Em            D
Until we find the vaccination

                           G
There's no substitute for love

             G
So love yourself and love your family

           Cadd9              G
Love your neighbor and your friend

         Em                  D
Ain't it time we love the stranger

              G
It's just a friend you ain't met yet
[Chorus]
                G                   Cadd9       G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can

     Em                     D                             G
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought I'm wanting to send

               G                                 Cadd9      G
Round here we bend but don't break, down here we all understand

                Em          D                   G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can

                Em          D                   G
When you can't do what you do, you do what you can
