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

It brings you near a lonely sailor
[Verse 6]

But when you take me by your side
E
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
