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