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

I am ready for the storm
G#m
Yes, all ready

I am ready for the storm
G#m C#m
I'm ready for the storm
