Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Tonight they're [G]shutting down the borders
And they [C]boarded up the [G]schools
Small towns are [Em]rolling up their [D]sidewalks
One last paycheck coming [G]through
I [D]know you're [G]feeling kind of nervous
We're all a [C]little bit [G]confused
Noth[Em]ing's the same, [D]this ain't a game
We gotta make it [G]through

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
As we [G]wave outside the window
Older [C]loved ones stay [G]inside
Moms and [Em]babies [D]blowing kisses
May be saving [G]someone's life
They [D]had to [G]cancel graduation
It ain't [C]fair to [G]Skype the prom
Our kids sit [Em]home in isola[D]tion
TV news is always [G]on

[Verse 3]
When you can't [G]do what you do
You [C]do what you [G]can
This [Em]ain't my prayer, [D]it's just a thought
I'm wanting to [G]send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we [C]all under[G]stand
When you can't [Em]do what you d[D]o
You do what you [G]can

[Interlude 2]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
The [G]chicken farm from Arkansas
Bought [C]workers [G]PPE
Not [Em]before [D]500 more
Had succumbed to this [G]disease
[D]Honest [G]men and honest women
Working [C]for an honest [G]wage
I got a [Em]hundred point [D]one fever
And we still got bills to [G]pay

[Verse 5]
When you can't [G]do what you do
You [C]do what you [G]can
This [Em]ain't my prayer, [D]it's just a thought
I'm wanting to [G]send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we [C]all under[G]stand
When you can't [Em]do what you d[D]o
You do what you [G]can

[Verse 6]
They built [C]a hospital on East Meadow
In [Em]Central Park [D]last night
Doctors, [C]nurses, truckers, grocery store
Clerks [G]manning the [D]front lines
I saw a [Am]Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned [G]off the Broadway lights
[C]Another ambulance screams
by (screams by)
If by the [D]grace of God, go I

[Verse 7]
Although I'll [G]keep my social distance
What this [C]world needs is a [G]hug
Until we [Em]find the vaccin[D]ation
There's no substitute for [G]love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your [C]neighbor and [G]your friend
Ain't it [Em]time we loved [D]the stranger
They're just a [C]friend you ain't [G]met [C]yet
Oh

[Verse 8]
When you can't [G]do what you do
You [C]do what [G]you can
(do what you can)
This [Em]ain't my prayer,
[D]it's just a thought
I'm wanting to [G]send
'Round here,
[D]we [G]bend but don't break
Down here, we [C]all under[G]stand
When you can't [Em]do what you d[D]o
You do what you [G]can
When you can't [Em]do what you d[D]o
You do what you [G]can[C][G][C][G]
[D][G]
