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