Chords

[Verse]
C          Csus4
Any minute now,

G                  C Csus4 C
My ship is coming in

          Csus4        F Em F  C
I'll keep checking the horizon

                  Csus4
I'll stand on the bow,

G                   C       Csus4 C
Feel the waves come crashing

              F    Em   F         C Csus4 C
Come crashing down down down, on me
[Chorus]
            F   C        G
And you say, be still my love

             F
Open up your heart

G7                  C
Let the light shine in

F             C     G
But don't you understand

                 F
I already have a plan

    G              F/Csus4      C
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
[Verse]
C          Csus4
When I awoke today,

G                  C Csus4 C
suddenly nothing happened

          F Em F             C
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon

                     Csus4 G                    C Csus4 C
And down this beaten path, up this cobbled lane

                  F Em F                    C Csus4 C
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again
[Chorus]
            F   C         G
And you say, just be here now

                 F
Forget about the past,

G7                   C
Your mask is wearing thin

F                C         G
Just let me throw one more dice

                  F
I know that I can win

    G              F/Csus4      C
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
[Verse]
C          Csus4
Any minute now,

G                  C Csus4 C
My ship is coming in

          Csus4        F Em F  C
I'll keep checking the horizon

                 Csus4     G                           C Csus4 C
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call

                  F     Em    F
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon

                         C
It's just that times are lean
[Chorus]
            F   C        G
And you say, be still my love

             F
Open up your heart

G7                  C
Let the light shine in

F             C     G
But don't you understand

                 F
I already have a plan

    G              F/Csus4      C
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
[Outro]
C                    Csus4          G   C
On a clear day I can see, see for a long way

C                    Csus4          G   C
On a clear day I can see, see for a long way
