If I Stand

Gsus G Gsus G

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

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

[Chorus]
         G             C          
So if I stand let me stand on the 
  Em                   A      
promise that you will pull me 
Dsus  D Dsus
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
           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            G  C  Em D
who is longing for his home

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

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

[Chorus]
         G             C          
So if I stand let me stand on the 
  Em                   A      
promise that you will pull me 
Dsus  D Dsus

If I sing let me sing for the joy
