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