Am   
Oh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls out.   
G   
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt   
F   
That the lighthouse will keep shining out   
G   
To warn the lonely sailor.   
Am   
The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold   
G   
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul   
F   
Till there's nothing left that he can hold   
G   
Except the rolling ocean.  
   
Am       F             Em   
But I am ready for the storm,   
G   
Yes, sir, ready.   
Am F                    Em   
I am ready for the storm,  
G               Am   
I'm ready for the storm.

Am   
Oh, give me mercy for my dreams,   
G   
'Cause every confrontation seems   
F   
To tell me what it really means   
G   
To be this lonely sailor.   
Am   
 And when the sky begins to clear,   
G   
The sun, it melts away my fear.   
F   
I'll cry a silent, weary tear   
G   
For those that need to love me.   

Chorus  

Am G F G Am G F G (instrumental lead played over these chords)   

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

Am   F                Em   
But I am ready for the storm,   
G   
Yes, sir, ready.   
Am   F             Em   
I am ready for the storm,   
G   
Yes, sir, ready.   
Am   F            Em   
I am ready for the storm,  
G   
Yes, sir, ready.  
Am   F             Em   
I am ready for the storm,   
G                Am   
ready for the storm.
