Verse: Am Em F G (*4)

Chorus: Am F Em G (*2)

Verse 1
The waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It’s an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn the lonely sailor
The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor’s bones, to the sailor’s soul
Till there’s nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean

Chorus
And I am ready for the storm
Yes, sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I’m ready for the storm

Verse 2
And give me mercy for my dreams
‘Cause every confrontation seems
To tell me what it really means
To be this lonely sailor
And when the sky begins to clear
And the sun it melts away my fear
I’ll cry a silent weary tear
For those that need to love me

(Chorus)

Verse 3
And distance it is no real friend,
And time will take its time,
And you will find that in the end,
It brings you me, the lonely sailor.
And when you take me by your side,
You love me warm, you love me and,
I should have realized
I had no reasons to be frightened

(Chorus *2)
