[Verse 1]
Bm G D
It's the longest night of the darkest year
A F#
The one you learned that life can go and disappear
Bm G D
And a holy light, you said God ain't here
A F#
Cause how could he explain the kind 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 D
Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
A Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
G D
If you lose all the meaning of life, love, and truth
A Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show up for you
[Verse 2]
G D
What comes to pass, don't come to stay
A F# Bm
We hate these ones we have, are dead by day
G D
As long as we are living, the desert is our life
A F#
We'll hold onto each other in the darkness and the light
[Chorus]
Bm G D
Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
A Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
G D
If you lose all the meaning of life, love, and truth
A Bm
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show 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
