G#m
It's a oneway street
        B
With an open end
         E
And you never know
What lies ahead

G#m
But I always knew
       B
That this was it
     E
The signs were lit
Oh I always knew

Chorus:
          G#m
I'm gonna hit the ground running
 B
Hit the ground running
      E
Only waiting for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the morning comes
          G#m
I'm gonna hit the ground running
 B
Hit the ground running
      E
Only waiting for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the morning comes

I'm an overdrive, gonna play offense
And I won't look back, there'll be no regrets

I'll keep my head up, even if I'm fed up
'Cause I'm getting closer, oh, I know, oh, I know

Chorus

         E                         G#m B
I'll be ready when the morning comes
      E
Only waiting for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the morning comes

It's a one way street with an open end
And you never know what lies ahead
But I always knew that this was it
The signs were lit, oh, I always knew
