[Verse 1]
A#
Baby's got a lot of tears
A#
Enough to cry a thousand years
D#m
Enough to cry a thousand seas
A#
Enough to break a boy like me
F
I want to stand and deliver
A#
And be the one that makes it better
[Verse 2]
A#
All I've got's this little heart
A#
With growing pains and leaky parts
D#m
All I've got's this little cup
A#
I pour it out, she fills it up
F
It tastes so sweet and so bitter
A#
Why can't I just deliver?
[Chorus]
Gm F A#
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
Gm F
Stand and deliver
[Bridge]
A#
In the time that we're apart
Gm F
I figured out what makes it hard
A#
All the words they go away
Gm F
I can't face another day
A#
Without the one who breaks my heart
Gm F
And gets to touch the tender parts
[Verse 3]
A#
Baby's got a lot of love
A#
Enough to fill the sky above
D#m
Enough to make the sunlight shine
A#
Enough to leave it all behind
F
I want to shine, I want to shimmer
A#
Receive the love that makes it better
[Chorus]
Gm F A#
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
Gm F
Stand and deliver
[Verse 4]
A#
But all I've got's this little chalice
A#
Born of fear and forged with malice
D#m
All I've got's this coat of mail
A#
In its time it served me well
F
It's useless now as I wither
A#
Why can't I just deliver?
[Chorus]
Gm F A#
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
Gm F
Stand and deliver
[Bridge]
A#
In the time that we're apart
Gm F
I figured out what makes it hard
A#
All the words they go away
Gm F
I can't face another day
A#
Without the one who breaks my heart
Gm F
And gets to touch the tender parts
Gm F
Stand and deliver
