Intro
G#m F# E D#m
[Verse 1]
G#m
The waves crash in, the tide pulls out
F#
It's an angry sea, but there is no doubt
E
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
D#m
To warn the lonely sailor
[Verse 2]
G#m
The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
F#
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
E
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
D#m
Except the roaring ocean
[Chorus]
G#m C#m F#
But I am ready for the storm
D#m
Yes, all ready
G#m C#m F#
I am ready for the storm
D#m G#m
I'm ready for the storm
[Verse 3]
Give me mercy for my dreams
F#
'Cause every confrontation seems
E
To tell me what it really means
D#m
To be this lonely sailor
[Verse 4]
G#m
But when the sky begins to clear
F#
And the sun, it melts away my fear
E
I will cry a silent, weary tear
D#m
At those that need to love me
[Chorus]
G#m C#m F#
But I am ready for the storm
D#m
Yes, all ready
G#m C#m F#
I am ready for the storm
D#m G#m
I'm ready for the storm
[Instrumental]
G#m F# E D#m (2x)
[Verse 5]
G#m
Distance, it is no real friend
F#
And time will take its time
E
And you will find that in the end
D#m
It brings you near a lonely sailor
[Verse 6]
G#m
But when you take me by your side
F#
You love me warm, you love me
E
And I should have realized
D#m
I had no reason to be frightened
[Chorus]
G#m C#m F#
And I am ready for the storm
D#m
Yes, all ready
G#m C#m F#
I am ready for the storm
D#m G#m
I'm ready for the storm
[Chorus]

I am ready for the storm
D#m
Yes, all ready
G#m C#m F#
I am ready for the storm
D#m G#m
I'm ready for the storm
