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)
