Dispatch – Dear Congress (Guitar)

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

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

 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

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

F                 G                 Am
Oh bless the child, oh rest their souls

                Em            F
I bet those lawmakers don't know

  G
This feeling that...

           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
