[Verse 1]
Bm
The waves crash in, the tide pulls out
A
It's an angry sea, but there is no doubt
G
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
F#m
To warn the lonely sailor
[Verse 2]
Bm
The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
A
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
G
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
F#m
Except the roaring ocean
[Chorus]
Bm Em A
But I am ready for the storm
F#m
Yes, all ready
Bm Em A
I am ready for the storm
F#m Bm
I'm ready for the storm
[Verse 3]
Give me mercy for my dreams
A
'Cause every confrontation seems
G
To tell me what it really means
F#m
To be this lonely sailor
[Verse 4]
Bm
But when the sky begins to clear
A
And the sun, it melts away my fear
G
I will cry a silent, weary tear
F#m
At those that need to love me
[Chorus]

But I am ready for the storm

Yes, all ready

I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm

And you will find that in the end

It brings you near a lonely sailor
[Verse 6]

But when you take me by your side
A
You love me warm, you love me

And I should have realized

I had no reason to be frightened

And I am ready for the storm
