Bm    G    D    A  F#


[Verse 1]
Bm                        G      
    It's the longest night of the
           D
 darkest year
                         A         
The one you learned that life can 
      F#
go and disappear
Bm             G                 
    And a holy light, you said 
        D
God ain't here
                   A               
Cause how could he explain the kind
         F#
 of pain you feel?


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
  Said I just wanna hold you
               G
I don't really know if I can fix 
this, dear
D
  Hate to see you hurting
                 A
No, you're not a burden

I volunteer


[Chorus]
Bm                   G           
  Won't drown in the river, I'll 
            D
swim out to you
               A                   
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry 
    Bm
you through
                    G              
If you lose all the meaning of 
            D
life, love, and truth
Continues after the ad
                A                  
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show 
      Bm
up for you


[Verse 2]
              G                   
What comes to pass, don't come to 
D
stay
                   A            F#
We hate these ones we have, are 
           Bm
dead by day
                  G                
As long as we are living, the 
         D
desert is our life
                     A            
We'll hold onto each other in the 
F#
darkness and the light


[Chorus]
Bm                   G           
  Won't drown in the river, I'll 
            D
swim out to you
               A                   
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry 
    Bm
you through
                    G              
If you lose all the meaning of 
            D
life, love, and truth
                A                  
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show 
      Bm
up for you

            G                 D
I'll stand, stand and deliver
            A         F#       Bm
I'll stand, stand and deliver
            G                 D
I'll stand, stand and deliver
            A         F#
I'll stand, stand and deliver
