Tom: D
D
[Verse]
D
I defied the odds
D
Dead end cul-de-sacs gridded streets that felt like jail
D
A maze of palm trees, led to nowhere
D
Built my own boat so I could sail
D G
They said "you won’t make it
D
You’re just wasting all your time"
Bm D G
But I’ve got no patience
A D
And hate to stand in lines
[Chorus]
G A D
Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on
G D
Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to lose it all
D D
I’m ready, I’m ready
[Verse]
D D
I search the channels to find stations
D D
I used to watch when I was young
D D
Only to find a reality that’s fine
D D
Settling for dumb
D G
There’s no more heroes
D D
No one showing us the way
D G D
So I sift through my old 45's
D
To remind myself
[Chorus]
G D
Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on
G D
Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to lose it all
G D
Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on
G D
Oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to lose it all
[Verse]
D D
When my back goes out, I’ll know I did it all
D D
And have stories to tell
D D
When my eyes go bad, I’ll know I’ve seen it all
D D
They’ll be light when my vision fails
D D
My legs will go bad
D D
But I walked 5 continents
D
So I won’t need to stand
D G D
I hope this life I lived will wake you up
D G
So you could do it again
[Chorus]
G D
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to take it on
G D
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to lose it all
G D
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to take it on
G D
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing...
D D
I’m ready, I’m ready to take you on
D D Bm D
I’m willing, I’m willing to lose it all
