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