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