[Intro]
G D Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; F#~ G G2 (pluck)&gt; G (pluck)&gt; D
Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; F#~ G G2 G~ A~ B~

[Verse 1]
          Cadd9 Cadd92 D                      G G2 G~ A~ B~             
Any minute now,          my ship is coming in 
                         Cadd9 Em Aadd9  G~ A~ B~      
I'll keep checking the horizon 
                 Cadd9 Cadd92 D             G       G2 G~ A~ B~             
I'll stand on the bow,        feel the waves come crashing 
              Cadd9 Em  Aadd9     G        G~ A~ B~ 
Come crashing down, down, down, on me 

[Chorus]
           Cadd9 G       D 
And you say, be still my love 
             Cadd9
Open up your heart 
Cadd92  F#~         G
Let the light shine in 
       Cadd9 G         D
But don't you understand 
            Cadd9
I already have a plan 
    D              Cadd9         G   G2 G  
I'm waiting for my real life to begin 

(pluck)&gt; G (pluck)&gt; D Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; F#~ G G2 G~ A~ B~

[Verse 2]
              Cadd9 Cadd92 D                 G G2  G~ A~ B~
When I awoke today,         suddenly nothing happened 
           Cadd9 Em Aadd9   G~     A~      
But in my dreams,      I slew the dragon 
    B~               Cadd9 Cadd92 D                  G  G2 G~ A~ B~  
And down this beaten path,       and up this cobbled lane 
                 Cadd9 Em  Aadd9     G        G~ A~ B~ 
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again 

[Chorus]
           Cadd9  G       D
And you say, just be here now 
              Cadd9
Forget about the past,
Cadd92  F#~         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   G2 G
I'm waiting for my real life to begin 

(pluck)&gt; G (pluck)&gt; D Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; Cadd9 (pluck)&gt; F#~ G G2 G~ A~ B~

[Verse 3]
          Cadd9 Cadd92 D                     G G2 G~ A~ B~             
Any minute now,          my ship is coming in 
                         Cadd9 Em Aadd9  G~ A~ B~ 
I'll keep checking the horizon 
                   Cadd9 Cadd92 D                       G    G2 G~ A~ B~    
And I'll check my machine,      there's sure to be that call 
                   Cadd9 Em  Aadd9           G         
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
                             G~ A~ B~
It's just that times are lean 

[Chorus]
           Cadd9 G       D 
And you say, be still my love 
             Cadd9
Open up your heart 
Cadd92  F#~         G
Let the light shine in 
       Cadd9 G         D
But don't you understand 
            Cadd9
I already have a plan 
    D              Cadd9         G     G F#~  
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

[Outro]
           G        Cadd9             F#~  G 
On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way
           G         Cadd9       Cadd9 Aadd9 F#~  Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9      
On a clear day, I can seeeeeeee, see a very long wayayayayayayay
