CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Am F Em Am F Em Am
Perhaps the years of grieving[F] have left me[Em][Am]
I think the summer is u[F]pon us[Em]
The [Am]cars roll into Cedar Grove[F]
Under the bright June sun
But [Am]I, I am not a[F]mong them now[G]
CHORUS:
Maybe I'[C]m ready
And maybe I'[G]m ready[E7]
Maybe I'[Am]m ready[G]
Ah-[F]ha, ah-[G]ha, Ah-ha-[Am]ha[C][G]
I [Am]run at night, down beside[F] the river[Em][Am]
The lanterns shine red[F] from the graves[Em]
[Am]No more lonely kitchen tables
[F]No more sorrow, picking at my brain
No, [Am]I belong to the [F]day now[G]
CHORUS:
Maybe I'[C]m ready
And maybe I'[G]m ready[E7]
[F]Ah [E7]ha [Am]ha
BRIDGE:
The [G]trolley screams and lurches towards[C] the city
And I [G]stare at my own eyes in the glass and I[E7] smile to think
How[Am] far I've come[G] from the[C] dull roar of loss
And [G]everything seems[E7] quiet now
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G C G E7 Am F Em Am F G
N.C. Am
I can hear the ice cream truck one street over
June weeds lunge up past[F] the railing[Em]
[Am]All my socks have worn holes
From [F]this long winter and this longer spring
But [Am]I don't have to wear them [F]anymore[G]
CHORUS:
Maybe I'[C]m ready
And maybe I'[G]m ready[E7]
Maybe I'[Am]m ready[G]
For [F]love, for [G]love, for [C]love
