[B] [E] Any minute now,
[F#] my ship is [B] coming in.
[E]
[B] [C#m] [B] I'll keep checking [E] the [B]
[C#m] horizon.
[B] And [E] I'll stand on the bow [G#m] [F#] and feel the [B] weight come [E] crashing.
[B] [C#m] [B] Come [E] crashing down, [B] [C#m] down, down
[B] on me.
[E] [B] And [E] you said, [B] be still [F#] my love, open [E] up your heart, [F#] let the [B] light shine in.
[E] [B] Don't you [F#] understand, I already [E] have a plan.
[F#] I'm waiting [Em] for my [B] real life to [E] begin.
[B] [F#]
[E] [F#]
[B] [E] [B] [C#m] [B]
[E] When I awoke today, [G#m] [F#] suddenly [B] nothing [E] happened [B] [C#m] [B]
but in [Em] my [B] dreams.
[C#m] I
[B] slew the [C#m] dragon [B] and down [E] this beaten path, [G#m]
[F#] and up [B] this cobbled [E] lane.
[B] I'm walking [E] in my old [B]
[C#m] footsteps [B] once [E] again.
[B] [E] And you said, [B] just be [F#] here now, forget [E] about the past, your [F#] mask is [B] wearing thin.
[C#m] [B] Just let me throw [F#] one more dice, I know that I [E] can win.
[G#m]
[F#] I'm waiting [E] for my real life [B] to begin.
[E] [B]
[F#] [E]
[F#] [B] [E] Any [B] [C#m] [B] [E] minute now, [G#m]
[F#] my ship is [B] coming [E] in.
[B] [C#m] [B] I'll keep checking [E] the [B]
[C#m] horizon.
[B] [C#m] [B] And I'll check [E] my machine, [G#m] [F#] it's [B] sure to be that cold.
[E] [B] It's [C#m] [B] going to happen [E] soon, [B] soon, [C#m] or so varies.
[B]
[E] It's just the [B] time to lean.
And [E] you said, [B] be still [F#] my love, open up [E] your heart, [F#] let [B] the light shine in.
Don't you [F#] understand, I already [E] have a plan.
[G#] I'm [F#] waiting [E] for my real life [B] to begin.
[E] [B] [N]
