G D Cadd9.. Cadd9 D/F# G.. Gsus4..
G D Cadd9.. Cadd9 D/F# G.. Gsus4.. G D/F# G/B
[Verse]
Cadd9 D G Gsus4 G D/F#
Any minute now... my ship is coming in
G/B Cadd9 Em Asus4 G D/F#
I'll keep checking... the hori- zon
G/B Cadd9 D
And I'll stand on the bow

And feel the waves come crashing

Come crashing down, down, down on me
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
And you say... be still, my love

When I awoke today... suddenly nothing happened
Cadd9 Em Asus4 G D/F#
But in my dreams... I slew the dragon
G/B Cadd9 D G Gsus4 G D/F#
And down this beaten path... and up this cobbled lane
G/B Cadd9 Em Asus4 G
I'm walking in my own footsteps once again
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D
And you say... just be here now
Cadd9 D/F# G D/F# G/B
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
Cadd9 D Cadd9
Let me throw one more dice, I know that I can win

I'm waiting for my real life to begin
G D Cadd9.. Cadd9 D/F# G.. Gsus4.. G D/F# G/B
[Verse]
Cadd9 D G Gsus4 G D/F#
Any minute now... my ship is coming in
G/B Cadd9 Em Asus4 G D/F#
I'll keep checking... the hori- zon
G/B Cadd9 D
And I'll check my machine
G Gsus4 G D/F# G/B
There's sure to be that call
Cadd9 Em Asus4 G
It's gunna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
Gsus4 G D/F# G/B
It's just that times are lean
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D
And you say... be still, my love
Cadd9 D/F# G Gsus4 G
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
Cadd9 D Cadd9
Don't you understand? I already have a plan

I'm waiting for my real life to begin
