[Intro]

Gm Gm Gm Gm C    x4

 

[Verse 1]

Gm

   It's now or it's never, and I've got to

     C

Make my decision

Gm                         C  Cm

  This time it could be my moment

Gm                                        C  Gm

  Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?

 

[Chorus]

             Gm       F

A river in a dry land

                  Dm       Eb

The last ace in a lost hand

                  Gm     F

A heartbeat for a tin man

           Dm         Eb

Oasis in a singed land

 

[Verse 2]

Gm

  I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing

   C

On razor's edge now

Gm                         C  Cm

  Move quick or my life is over

Gm

  One strike, just a feint, then ...

                   C  Gm

I'm outta his field of vision

Gm

  Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to

C          Gm

Strike him down now

Gm

  A chance at a new start

                      C  Gm

There's no time for indecision

 

[Chorus]

             Gm       F

A river in a dry land

                  Dm       Eb

The last ace in a lost hand

         Gm          F                     Dm

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

       Eb

[Verse 2]

Gm

  My heart is a furnace,

                         C

(It's) Hot as hell in my world of conflict

Gm                          C  Cm

  One goal is what keeps me going

Gm

  Take back what I lost to ...

                    C  Gm

The bosses of greed and fear, yeah

                                         C

Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to take

Them down now

Gm

  The time for a new start

                  C      Gm  F  Dm  Eb

Is constantly drawing nearer

 

[Chorus]

Gotta clear my head of anger and greed

  Gm       Cm            F

A place to refresh heart and mind,

Dm

Can I find

     Cm   Dm

Some time in
