Artist: Bon Jovi
[INTRO]
|G |C G |C G |D G |
[VERSE 1]
Tonight they’re sh[G]utting down the borders
And they’ve b[Cadd9]oarded up the sch[G]ools
Small towns are r[Em]olling up their s[D]idewalks,
One last paycheck coming thr[G]ough
I know you're f[G]eeling kinda nervous
We're all a l[Cadd9]ittle bit conf[G]used
Noth[Em]in's the same, th[D]is ain't a game
We got to make it thr[G]ough
[CHORUS]
When you can’t d[G]o what you do, you d[C]o what you c[G]an
This [Em]ain’t my prayer, it’s j[D]ust a thought I’m wanting to s[G]end
Round here we b[G]end but don’t break, down here we [C]all underst[G]and
When you can’t d[Em]o what you d[D]o, you do what you c[G]an
[INSTRUMENTAL]
|G |C G |
[VERSE 2]
As we w[G]ait outside the window
Older l[Cadd9]oved ones stay ins[G]ide
Moms and b[Em]abies blowing[D] kisses
Maybe saving someone's l[G]ife
They had to c[G]ancel graduation
It ain't f[Cadd9]air to scrap the pr[G]om
Our kids sit h[Em]ome in isol[D]ation
Evening news is always [G]on
[CHORUS]
When you can’t d[G]o what you do, you d[C]o what you c[G]an
This [Em]ain’t my prayer, it’s j[D]ust a thought I’m wanting to s[G]end
Round here we b[G]end but don’t break, down here we [C]all underst[G]and
When you can’t d[Em]o what you d[D]o, you do what you c[G]an
[BRIDGE]
They built a h[C]ospital on East Meadow in C[Em]entral Park last n[D]ight
Doctors, n[C]urses, truckers, grocery store clerks m[G]anning the front l[D]ine
I saw [Am7]Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned [C/B]off the Broadway lights
Another [C]ambulance screams by
There by the gr[D]ace of God go I
[VERSE]
So love yourself[G] and love your family
Love your n[Cadd9]eighbor and your fr[G]iend
Ain't it [Em]time we love the str[D]anger
It's just a friend you ain't met[G] yet
We're gonna [Em]get through this tog[D]ether
Until I s[C]ee you once again
[CHORUS]
When you can’t d[G]o what you do, you d[C]o what you c[G]an
This [Em]ain’t my prayer, it’s j[D]ust a thought I’m wanting to s[G]end
Round here we b[G]end but don’t break, down here we [C]all underst[G]and
When you can’t d[Em]o what you d[D]o, you do what you c[G]an
When you can’t d[Em]o what you d[D]o, you do what you c[G]an
When you can’t d[Em]o what you d[D]o, you do what you c[G]an
