[Verse 1]
A# Gm
No hands to warm
A# Gm A#
No bedtime story, no lullaby
Gm F
No little steps in the middle of the night
A# Gm
And the nation's numb
A# Gm A#
Is this what our forefathers had in mind
Gm F
What is happening in Washington
[Chorus]
Dm Gm
'Cause it's not enough
F
Your thoughts and prayers
A#
You send your love
Gm
You say you care
D# F
But you are not my baby
[Verse 2]
A# Gm
Oh but my heart has died
A# Gm
Standing alone in an empty room
A# Gm F
Except for my child but she's not really there
A# Gm
And all the people have gone
A# Gm A#
And I want to pick her up and take her home
Gm F
I can't bear to leave her here
[Chorus]
Dm Gm
It's not enough
F
Your thoughts and prayers
A#
You send your love
Gm
You say you care
D# F
But you are not my baby

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