We'd like to dedicate this next song to the students that led the March for our lives rally yesterday
[F#] [N] As a [C] band we've been pretty amazed that there seems to be a polarity between two worlds when really there isn't
We're okay with guns as long as it's really really really hard to get them
So universal [E] background checks would just be the right [C] thing to do to protect life
And this goes out to especially all those high school kids leading the way
Knocking some sense into the grown-ups
[Am]
[G] [Am]
No hands to warm no bedtime story no lullaby no little steps in the middle [G] of the night
[C] [Am] Now our nation's numb
This is what our forefathers had in mind.
What is happening [G] in Washington?
[E] [Am] Cuz it's not enough
your [G] thoughts and prayers
You send [C] your love
You [Am] say you care
But you [F] are not
[G] my [C] baby
[Am]
[G] [C] [Am] Or but my heart has died
Standing alone in this empty room except for my child, but [G] she's not really there
[C] And [Am] all the people have gone
And I want to pick her up and take her home.
I can't bear to [G] leave her here
[E] [Am] It's not enough
your [G] thoughts and prayers
You send [C] your love you [Am] say you care, but you [F] are not
[Em] my baby
[C] [Am] [C]
[Am] [G] [E] [F] Oh
Bless the [G] child Oh rest [Am] their souls.
I bet [E] those
Lawmakers [F] don't know this feeling [G] that it's not
[D] Enough your [G] thoughts and prayers you send [C] your love
You [Am] say you care
But you [F] are not
[G] Hey, hey
[C] Can you [Am] do something so that [F] there's not
more [G] gone, baby [C] Baby
