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