Rogers Stan
DELIVERY DELAYED   Time: 2/2   Tenor: D   Bass: D
- Stan Rogers, 1979, on: Between the Breaks, Key: D


INTRO(?): Gmaj7,  Gmaj7,  D,  Dmaj7

Gmaj7       *           D       Dmaj7
....... How early is Be-ginning______
Gmaj7        *               D    Dmaj7
....... from when is there a soul______
Gmaj7      *        D          Dmaj7
....... Do we disco-ver living______
Gmaj7       *             D          Dmaj7 
....... or, somehow, are____ we told______
   A               *              A#dim             *
In sudden pain, in empty cold, in blinding light of day
      Bm                  *         A        G      *
We're given breath and it takes our breath a-way


How cruel to unformed fancy / The way in which we come
Over-whelmed by feeling / And sudden loss of love
And what price dark confining pain, the hardest to forgive
     Bm                *      A    G          G/F#   Em   *   A   *
When all at once we're called upon . to live


(Then) by giant hand we're taken / From the shelter of the womb
That dreaded first horizon / The endless empty room
Where communion is lost forever, when a heart first beats alone
       Bm               *      A        G  G/F#   Em   A7
Still, it remembers, no matter how it's grown____________


   D     *         Dsus4   D
We grow____,  but  grow  a-part
   D     *         Dsus4  D
We live____,  but  more   alone
    Em              *            C
The more to be, the more to see____
                  *
To cry aloud that we are free
   Bb6              *          *           A  *
To hide our ancient fear(s) of being alone______


And how we live in darkness / Embracing spiteful cold
Refusing any answers / For no man can be told
That Delivery is delayed until at last we're made aware
    Bm                       *          A      G  G/F#   Em
And first reach for love, to find 'twas always there_______
