[Verse 1]
G
 I'm walking in an open field
Am7
 Looking for some space to fill
C                                     D
 I believe there's something left to hold
G
 So even when the sun goes down
Am7
 And there's no one around
C                                   D
 I'm standing in the freedom of my soul


[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                                        D
 And the truth of the matter is still the same
G                                        C
 It's that you and I, we will not be here forever
Am7                              D
 The truth of the matter is still the same


[Chorus]
D           G
 I'm ready to stand
D           C
 I'm ready to stand
D           G       Dsus4
 I'm ready to stand
D           C       D
 I'm ready to stand, stand
   G                 Am7
Oh yeay, yeay, yea-y ya-e-yay
C                      D
Yea-y ya-e-yay, I know, I know, you know I . . .


[Verse 2]
G
 I can see the earth from here
Am7
 I can see it shake in fear
C                              D
 I can see it falling to its knees
G
 But you know I'm not the same
Am7
 My burden is a burning flame
C                              D
 I hold it up for all the world to see


[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                                    D
 The truth of the matter is still the same
G               Bm                  C
 That you and I, we will not be here forever
Am7                              D
 The truth of the matter is still the same


[Chorus]
D           G
 I'm ready to stand
D           C
 I'm ready to stand
D           G       Dsus4
 I'm ready to stand
D           C       D
 I'm ready to stand, stand
   G                 Am7
Oh yeay, yeay, yea-y ya-e-yay
C                      D
Yea-y ya-e-yay, I know, I know, you know I . . .

G
 Walking in an open field

 Looking for some space to fill

[Bridge]
G
 Even when the sun goes down
Am                   C

Even when the sun goes down
C
 Even when the sun goes down
D
 Even when the sun goes down

G
 I'll stand
D           C
 I'm ready to stand
      D                       G
You know, you know, you know I'll stand
D           C
 I'm ready to stand
D              G
 Stand, ready to stand
