F
A bag of years, a cup of tears, lie in a glass
G                    Dm                 Am
And every line on my face has a tale to tell
Bb
For I have worn this skin I live in
F
And so I will until I'm dying
G                        G               Bb
I've had it good, had it bad, until it's over


[Chorus 1]
F            Dm
Stand if you wanna know yourself
Bb            C
Stand if your head's with someone else
Am           Dm
Stand if you feel like making up
Gm             C
Stand when you think you've had enough


[Verse 2]
F
A set of words, a busy mind lie in a bed
G                        Dm              Am
And every day there is a way I've yet to walk
Bb                 C
So many times I've took for granted
F
When love is all I've ever wanted
G                      G
To come alive, see the sights, stay up late
              Bb
And then it's over


[Chorus 2]
F            Dm
Stand if you love the one you're with
Bb                C
Stand when you've nothing else to give
Am               Dm
Stand cause it's all you'll ever know
Gm                  C
Stand cause there's nowhere left to go
F            Dm
Stand if you have something to say
Bb           C
Stand if you need a place to stay
Am           Dm
Stand if you wanna be alone
Gm        C
Stand any way you want to


[Bridge]
Cm  C      Am
All that I am
Gm Am       Bb  C    Bb
Is all I'll be, when you...


[Chorus 3]
F          Dm
Stand as a woman or a man
Bb       C
Stand anywhere you know you can
Am           Dm
Stand if you want without a sound
Gm                C
Stand when you're tired of sitting down
