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