Ready For The Storm

Tom : Am
Am G F Em

[Verse 1]
Am
The waves crash in, the tide pulls out
G
It's an angry sea, but there is no doubt
F
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
Em
To warn the lonely sailor

[Verse 2]
Am
The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
G
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
F
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Em
Except the roaring ocean

[Chorus]
Am Dm G
But I am ready for the storm
Em
Yes, all ready
Am Dm G
I am ready for the storm
Em Am
I'm ready for the storm

[Verse 3]
Give me mercy for my dreams
G
'Cause every confrontation seems
F
To tell me what it really means
Em
To be this lonely sailor

[Verse 4]
Am
But when the sky begins to clear
G
And the sun, it melts away my fear
F
I will cry a silent, weary tear
Em
At those that need to love me

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
  Am  G    F
Em (2x)

[Verse 5]
Am
Distance, it is no real friend
G
And time will take its time
F
And you will find that in the end
Em
It brings you near a lonely sailor

[Verse 6]
Am
But when you take me by your side
G
You love me warm, you love me
F
And I should have realized
Em
I had no reason to be frightened

[Chorus]
Am Dm G
And I am ready for the storm
Em
Yes, all ready
Am Dm G
I am ready for the storm
Em Am
I'm ready for the storm

[Chorus]
Dm G
I am ready for the storm
Em
Yes, all ready
Am Dm G
I am ready for the storm
Em Am
I'm ready for the storm
