Ready for the Storm

Isaiah 50:5-11
    F#m
|:[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]:|
    F#m						F#m/E
The waves crash in, the tide rolls out, it's an angry sea but there is no doubt
	 Dmaj7				     E2
That the lighthouse will keep shining out to warn a lonely sailor
	F#m
And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
	   F#m/E
Through the sailor's bones, through the sailor's soul
	  Dmaj7				      E2
Till there's nothing left that he can hold except a rolling ocean

  F#m   Dmaj7	       C#m7
Oh I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
F#m   Dmaj7	   C#m7			    F#m
I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm

Oh give me mercy for my dreams 'cause every confrontation seems to tell me
What it really means to be this lonely sailor
And when the sky begins to clear, the sun, it melts away my fear
And I cry a silent weary tear for those who mean to love me

  F#m   Dmaj7	       C#m7
Oh I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
F#m   Dmaj7	   C#m7			    D2/F#
I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm
  E2	    D2	        E2	 D2/F#	      E2	 D2	    E2
[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]

The distance it is no real friend and time will take its time
And You will find that in the end it brings You me, this lonely sailor
And when You take me by the hand and You love me, Lord, You love me
And I should have realized I had no reasons to be frightened

  F#m	Dmaj7	      C#m7
Oh I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
F#m  Dmaj7	   C#m7
I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
F#m  Dmaj7	   C#m7
I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
F#m  Dmaj7	   C#m7			     F#m    F#
I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm
