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

But when you take me by your side

You love me warm, you love me

I had no reason to be frightened
