Intro - A F#m E D
Verse 1
A F#m
This is where my father tripped, this is the part my teacher skipped
E D
Talked about humanity, and how it all relates to me
A F#m
A million battles to be won, but me I'm just my mother's son
E D
Tried to fight and be a man when all I had to do was stand
Pre-Chorus
F#m E
God brings the answer, where we least expect
Bm E
Sometimes the best approach is to simply be direct
Chorus
D E
Stand though the world is laughing
F#m D
Stand up on crooked feet
D E
Stand up and be counted
F#m D
Stand though you might get beat
D E
If you're too tired to retreat, just stand
A F#m E D
Verse 2
A F#m
It's really such a simple thing, just pour a cup of faith and drink
E D
Relax the tension in your head, trust in every word God said
A F#m
So jack be nimble jack be quick, jack stood on that candlestick
E D
Well it's hope that makes you turn around, and place your feet on solid ground
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus x2)
