[Verse 1]
G
Baby's got a lot of tears
G
Enough to cry a thousand years
Cm
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
Cm
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]
Em D G
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
Em D
Stand and deliver
[Bridge]
G
In the time that we're apart
Em D
I figured out what makes it hard
G
All the words they go away
Em D
I can't face another day
G
Without the one who breaks my heart
Em 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
Cm
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]
Em D G
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
Em D
Stand and deliver
[Verse 4]
G
But all I've got's this little chalice
G
Born of fear and forged with malice
Cm
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]
Em D G
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
Em D
Stand and deliver
[Bridge]
G
In the time that we're apart
Em D
I figured out what makes it hard
G
All the words they go away
Em D
I can't face another day
G
Without the one who breaks my heart
Em D
And gets to touch the tender parts
Em D
Stand and deliver
