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