Intro: G D Cadd9 Cadd9 D G
Cadd9 D G
Any minute now my ship is coming in
Cadd9 Em7 A
I'll keep checking the horizon
G Cadd9 D
And I'll stand on the bow
G
And feel the waves come crashing
Cadd9 Em7 A G
Come crashing down, down, down on me
Cadd9 G D
And you said,"Be still, my love
Cadd9
Open up your heart
D G
Let the light shine in"
Cadd9 G D
Don't you understand?
Cadd9
I already have a plan
D Cadd9 G
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
G D Cadd9 Cadd9 D G
Cadd9 D G
When I awoke today suddenly nothing happened
Cadd9 Em7 A G
But in my dreams I slew the dragon
Cadd9 D
And down this beaten path
G
And up this cobbled lane
Cadd9 Em7 A G
I'm walking in my own footsteps once again
Cadd9 G D
And you say,"Just be here now
Cadd9
Forget about the past
D G
Your mask is wearing thin"
Cadd9 G D
Let me throw one more dice
Cadd9
I know that I can win
D Cadd9 G
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
G D Cadd9 Cadd9 D G
Cadd9 D G
Any minute now my ship is coming in
Cadd9 Em7 A
I'll keep checking the horizon
G Cadd9
And I'll check my machine
D G
There's sure to be that call
Cadd9 Em7 A
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
G
It's just that times are lean
Cadd9 G D
And you say,"Be still, my love
Cadd9
Open up your heart
D G
Let the light shine in"
Cadd9 G D
Don't you understand?
Cadd9
I already have a plan
D Cadd9 G
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
Em A

Hey heyeyeyeyey
G Cadd9 D G
On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way
G Cadd9 D G
On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way
