Ready For Love - India Arie

     Em(9)
I am ready for love
            D
Why are you hiding from me
            C(9)
I’d quickly give my freedom
         D
To be held in your captivity

     Em(9)
I am ready for love
            D
All of the joy and the pain
            C(9)
And all the time that it takes
            D
Just to stay in your good grace

     Em             D6/9
Lately I’ve been thinking
             Cmaj7         B7sus B7 Em(9)
Maybe you’re not ready for me
          D6/9             Cmaj7         B7sus B7
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
         Am7
They say watch what you ask for 
      Em(9)
Cause you might receive 
           Am7
But if you ask me tomorrow
C                       B7sus B7
I’ll say the same thing

     Em(9)
I am ready for love
                 D
Would you please lend me your ear?
          C(9)
I promise I won’t complain 

       D
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

   Em             D6/9
If you give me half a chance
     Cmaj7            B7sus B7 Em(9)
I‘ll prove this to you
          D6/9            Cmaj7           B7sus B7
I will be patience, kind, faithful and true
     Am7
To a man who loves music
  Em(9)
A man who loves art
Cmaj7?        Am7
Respect’s the spirit world
    C                   B7sus  B7
And thinks with his heart

Em  D6/9 Cmaj7  B7sus  B7  Em  D6/9  Cmaj7  B7sus B7

     Em(9)                           D
I am ready for love | If you’ll take me in your hands
            C(9)
I will learn what you teach
           D
And do the best that I can

     Em(9)
I am ready for love
            D
Here with a offering of
C(9)                   D
My voice .. My Eyes .. My soul .. My mind

        Am7
Tell me what is enough
    B7sus         B7              Em(9) D
To prove I am ready...... for love
C(9)      D      Em(9)
I am ready…
