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