   It's now or it's never, and I've got to
     C
Make my decision

  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

Oasis in a singed land

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

On razor's edge now

  Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to
C          Gm
Strike him down now

  A chance at a new start
                      C  Gm
There's no time for indecision

[Chorus]
             Gm       F
A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand
         Gm          F                     Dm
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

  My heart is a furnace,

(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

Is constantly drawing nearer

Gotta clear my head of anger and greed

A place to refresh heart and mind,
Dm
Can I find
     Cm   Dm
Some time in
