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

[Verse 5]
D#m
Distance, it is no real friend
C#
And time will take its time
B
And you will find that in the end
A#m
It brings you near a lonely sailor
[Verse 6]
D#m
But when you take me by your side
C#
You love me warm, you love me
B
And I should have realized
A#m
I had no reason to be frightened
[Chorus]
D#m G#m C#
And I am ready for the storm
