strumming.

[Verse 1]

A
Baby's got a lot of tears
A
Enough to cry a thousand years
Dm
Enough to cry a thousand seas
A
Enough to break a boy like me
E
I want to stand and deliver
A
And be the one that makes it better


[Verse 2]
A
All I've got's this little heart
A
With growing pains and leaky parts
Dm
All I've got's this little cup
A
I pour it out, she fills it up
E
It tastes so sweet and so bitter
A
Why can't I just deliver?


[Chorus]
F#m            E           A
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
F#m            E
Stand and deliver

[Bridge]
A
In the time that we're apart
F#m                E
I figured out what makes it hard
A
All the words they go away
F#m            E
I can't face another day
A
Without the one who breaks my heart
F#m                   E
And gets to touch the tender parts


[Verse 3]
A
Baby's got a lot of love
A
Enough to fill the sky above
Dm
Enough to make the sunlight shine
A
Enough to leave it all behind
E
I want to shine, I want to shimmer
A
Receive the love that makes it 
better


[Chorus]
F#m            E           A
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
F#m            E
Stand and deliver


[Verse 4]
A
But all I've got's this little 
chalice
A
Born of fear and forged with malice
Dm
All I've got's this coat of mail
A
In its time it served me well
E
It's useless now as I wither
A
Why can't I just deliver?


[Chorus]
F#m            E           A
Stand and deliver (stand, stand)
F#m            E
Stand and deliver
