A5        D5                     B5       D5
I've been waiting a long time    for this moment to come I'm
destined  for anything at        all____________
 
(electric->)
Downtown  lights will be shining on me    like a diamond
ring out  under the midnight     hour___________
no one    can touch me now and   i can't  turn my back it's
too late  ready or not at        all____________               Well

dawning   of a new era       calling  don't let it catch you
falling   ready or not at    all______________

feeling   on the tip of my   tongue___________
