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

But I am ready for the storm

I am ready for the storm

Distance, it is no real friend

But when you take me by your side

You love me warm, you love me

I had no reason to be frightened
