Waiting For My Real Life To Begin

Going Somewhere
Submitted by junkers

As always, listen to the song to get the timing right.
At present I have only given the chords, but there's
some fingerpicking/arpeggio picking going on
throughout the song, just try to improvise, you can't
really make it sound bad.

Verse:

	   C
Any minute now,
D	 	  G    C    G
my ship is coming in
A/B/		       C  B  A    G
I'll keep checking the horizon

Come crashing down, down, down, on me

Open up your heart

Verse:

	   C
When I awoke today,
D	 	  G    C    G
suddenly nothing happened
A/B/		       C  B  A    G
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon
A/B/		  C    D	  G    C    G
And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane
A/B/	      C    B    A	G    C    G
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again

Chorus:

	    C      G      D
And you say, just be here now
	    C
Forget about the past,
C      A      G        A
your mask is wearing thin
C      G      D
Let me throw one more dice
                   C
I know that I can win
    D 		   C		G
I'm waiting for my real life to begin


Verse:

	   C
Any minute now,
D	 	  G    C    G
my ship is coming in
A/B/		       C  B  A    G
I'll keep checking the horizon
A/B/		  C    D	  G    C    G
And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call
A/B/	      C    B    A	G    C    G
It's gonna happen soon, soon, soon, it's just that times are lean


Chorus:

	    C      G      D
And you say, be still my love
	    C
Open up your heart,
C      A      G        A
let the light shine in

I'm waiting for my real life to begin
