Verse 1:
G
Tonight they’re shutting down the borders
C G
And they’ve boarded up the schools
Em D
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks,
G
One last paycheck coming through
G
I know you're feeling kinda nervous
C G
We're all a little bit confused
Em D
Nothin's the same, this ain't a same
G
We got to make it through
Chorus:
G C G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
Em D G
This ain’t my prayer, it’s just a thought I’m wanting to send
G C G
Round here we bend but don’t break, down here we all understand
Em D G
When you can’t do what you do, you do what you can
