Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Chords

Waiting for my real life to begin   (Colin Hay)
 
 
I know there is other versions, but this one is the "easy one". Not perfect but easier to play for
novice musicians. Enjoy!
 
 
           F     G                    C
Any minute now...   my ship is coming in
                           F   Am  D      C
I'll keep checking...  the hori-   zon
                      F      G
And I'll stand on the bow
                       C
And feel the waves come crashing
              F     Am    D       C
Come crashing down, down, down on me
 
         F           C      G
And you  say...   be still, my love
             F               G          C
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
F         G                             F
Don't you understand?  I already have a plan
    G              F            C
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
 
G   F   C
 
             F      G          C
When I awoke today... suddenly nothing happened
          F  Am  D              C
But in my dreams...  I slew the dragon
                      F     G                      C
And down this beaten path...   and up this cobbled lane
                  F      Am  D          C
I'm walking in my own    footsteps once again
 
          F              C       G
And you   say...    just be here now
                 F                          C
Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin
       F              G                       F
Let me throw one more dice, I know that I can win
    G              F            C
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
 
G   F   C
 
          F     G                     C
Any minute now...   my ship is coming in
                           F   Am   D     C
I'll keep checking...  the hori-    zon
                  F        G
And I'll check my machine
                        C
There's sure to be that call
                  F     Am     D                C
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
               C
It's just that times are lean
 
        F              C        G
And you say...   be still, my love
             F                   G         C
Open up your heart, let the light shine in
F          G                                F
Don't you understand?  I already have a plan
    G              F              C
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
 
Am  D  Am  D
C  F  G  F
 
           C          F               G    C
On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way
           C          F               G    C
On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way
