[F#] [B] Any
[E] [B]
[F#]
[E] [B]
minute now, [F#]
my ship is [B] coming in [E] I'll keep checking the [E]
[B] horizon
[C#m] And [B] I'll stand on the bow and [F#]
feel the [B] waves come crashing
[E] [B]
[C#] Come crashing [B] down, down, [C#m] down on [B]
me
[E]
And you [E] say, [B] be still my [F#]
love, open [B] up your heart
Let the light shine in, [Bm] don't you [F#] understand I already [C#] have a plan
I'm [F#]
waiting for [B] my real life to begin
[E] I [C#]
[B] [E] [B]
awoke today, [F#] suddenly [B] nothing happened but in my dreams
[C#m] I [B] see the dragon and down this beaten path, [F#]
up this [B] cobbled lane
Walking in my [B] old [C#m] footsteps
[B] once again
[E] [B]
And [C#] you say, [B]
just be [F#] here now, forget about [B] the past
Your mask is wearing thin,
[C#] just let me throw [F#] one more dice
I know that I can [B] win, [F#] I'm waiting for [B] my real life [B] to begin
[E] [B]
[E] [C#] Any minute now, [F#]
my ship is [B] coming in [E] [B]
I'll keep checking the [F#]
[B] [C#m] horizon
[B]
And I'll check my machine, [F#] it's sure to be [B] that call
[E] It's [B]
gonna happen soon, [C#m] soon, oh so very [B] soon
[E] It's just the times are lean, [C#] and you say, [B] be still my [F#] love, open up [B] your heart
Let the light shine in, [C#] [B] don't you [F#] understand I already [B]
have a plan
[F#] I'm waiting for my real life to begin
[G#m]
Hey, [C#] [G#]
[G#m] just [C#]
be [F#] here

Hey, [G#] [B]
be [F#] here
Hey, be [B]
[C#m]
[G#m] here
On [E]

a clear day, I can see, see for a long way
On a clear day, I can see

[F#] See for a long [B] way
