[Intro] F#m E Bm D x3 [Verse 1]
F#m         E                 Bm              D
There was a piece of a song I heard the other day

F#m      E                  Bm         D 
    Some words I heard this singer say

F#m             E         D
Something in me loved the way that it sounded

         A          C#        G
When he said how he wanted to stand
Stand and be counted [Break] F#m E Bm D x2 [Verse 2]
F#m              E                     Bm         D
Now, sometimes I talk to myself in the early dawn

F#m            E               Bm             D
Before all the fragments of my dreams are gone

F#m                   E        D
Things you don't know why your mind held on to

   A        C#m        G
Or else sometimes you know more than you want to
[Chorus]
A     D      E        A     D      E
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth

A     D       E      G     F#m E
Stand on your honor, stand and be counted
[Break] F#m E Bm D x2 [Verse 3]
F#m                   E       Bm                 D
And I wonder who that kid was standing brave and trim

F#m               E             Bm              D
And I hear myself breathe and I know that I was him

F#m             E                  D
Defender of the poor and those who cannot speak

  A              C#m              G
I thought I'd be standing by the dam trying to stop the leak
[Chorus]
A     D      E        A     D      E
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth

A     D       E      G     F#m E
Stand on your honor, stand and be counted
[Bridge]
C#m               A              E
So concerned with matters of the heart

C#m                           A             E
And knowing the millenium was just about to start

    F#m          A                Bm
And knowing that somehow we could make a difference
[Solo] (Over Verse Chords) [Verse 4]
F#m             E                                    Bm       D
I want to stand alone in front of the world and that oncoming tank

          F#m     E           Bm          D
Like that Chinese boy that we all have to thank

F#m               E            D
He showed us in a picture that I have mounted

A               C#m      G       
Exactly what it means to stand and be counted
[Outro]
A     D      E        A     D      E
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth

A     D       E      G     F#m E
Stand on your honor, stand and be

A     D      E        A     D      E
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth

A     D       E      G     F#m E
Stand on your honor, stand and be
A D E A D E A D E G F#m E
A     D      E        A     D      E
Stand and be counted, stand on the truth

A     D       E    
Stand on your honor
G F#m E A
