If I Stand

INTRO: Gsus G Gsus G

Verse 1:
         G              D    
There's more that rises in the 
           G            G
morning than the sun
D/F#        Em           Em     
More that shines in the night 
    D        C
than just the moon
         Am                 
There's more than just this fire 
Dsus  D         G   D/F# Em
here that keeps me warm
      Asus            A        
In a shelter that is larger than 
        Dsus D
this room

            G              D      
There's a loyalty that's deeper 
         G         G
than mere sentiment
D/F#     Em              Em      
A music higher than the songs 
  D      C
that I can sing
Am              Dsus      D     
  The stuff of earth competes 
        G D/F# Em
for the allegiance

      Asus         A               
I owe only to the giver of all good
Dsus    D
 things


Chorus:
          G           C           
So if I stand let me stand on the 
  Em         Asus      A   
promise that you will pull me 
    Dsus D Dsus D
through
          Am           C          
And if I can't let me fall on the 
  Em              Dsus   D     G 
grace that first brought me to 
  C Em D
you
      G            C          Em 
If I sing let me sing for the joy
          Asus    A        Dsus D
 that has born in me these songs
 Dsus D

          Am         C       Em  
But if I weep let it be as a man 
        Dsus    D       G   C  Em D
who is longing for his home

Verse 2:
         G               C    
There's more that dances on the 
            G             G
prairies than the wind
D/F#       Em            Em    
More that pulses in the ocean 
D        C
than the tide
Am                       Dsus   
  There's a love that is fiercer
D            G   D/F#    Em
 than the love between friends
      Asus           A            
More gently than a mother's when 
   Dsus           D
her baby's at her side

            G              D      
There's a loyalty that's deeper 
         G         G
than mere sentiment
D/F#     Em              Em      
A music higher than the songs 
  D      C
that I can sing
Am              Dsus      D     
  The stuff of earth competes 
        G D/F# Em
for the allegiance
      Asus         A              
I owe only to the giver of all 
   Dsus    D
good things
