Verse:
         C5
Any minute now, 
D5               G5    C5    G5
my ship is coming in 
A5 / B5 /                   C5  B5  A5    G5
I'll keep checking the horizon 
A5 / B5 /              C5    D5        G5    C5    G5              
I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing 
A5 / B5 /            C5    B5    A5      G5    C5    G5
Come crashing down, down, down, on me 

Chorus:
          C5      G5      D5  
And you say, be still my love 
          C5
Open up your heart 
C5      A5      G5        A5           
Let the light shine in 
C5      G5      D5     
But don't you understand 
                   C5
I already have a plan 
    D5                C5            G5
I'm waiting for my real life to begin 

Break:

Verse:
         C5
When I awoke today, 
D5               G5    C5    G5
suddenly nothing happened 
A5 / B5 /                   C5  B5  A5    G5
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon 
A5 / B5 /              C5    D5        G5    C5    G5 
And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane 
A5 / B5 /            C5    B5    A5      G5    C5    G5
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again 

Chorus:
          C5      G5      D5  
And you say, just be here now 
          C5
Forget about the past, 
C5      A5      G5        A5
your mask is wearing thin 
C5      G5      D5     
Let me throw one more dice 
                   C5
I know that I can win 
    D5                C5            G5
I'm waiting for my real life to begin 

Verse:
         C5
Any minute now, 
D5               G5    C5    G5
my ship is coming in 
A5 / B5 /                   C5  B5  A5    G5
I'll keep checking the horizon 
A5 / B5 /              C5    D5        G5    C5    G5
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call 
A5 / B5 /            C5    B5    A5      G5    C5    G5
It's gonna happen soon, soon, soon, it's just that times are lean 

Chorus:
          C5      G5      D5 
And you say, be still my love 
          C5
Open up your heart, 
C5      A5      G5        A5
let the light shine in 
C5      G5      D5
Don't you understand 
                   C5
I already have a plan 
    D5                C5            G5
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
