Ready And Willing

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     
Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing 
            D
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                           
I search the channels to find 
       D
stations
Continues after the ad
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                                 
When my back goes out, I’ll know I
         D
 did it all
D                      D
And have stories to tell
D                                 
When my eyes go bad, I’ll know 
           D
I’ve seen it all
D                             
They’ll be light when my vision 
   D
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                            
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you 
       D
willing to take it on
G                            
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you 
       D
willing to lose it all
G                            
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you 
       D
willing to take it on
G                            
Oh, oh, are you ready, are you 
       D
willing...
D          D
I’m ready, I’m ready to take you on
D            D                   
I’m willing, I’m willing to lose 
        Bm D
it all
