[verse 1]
Gm
   It's now or it's never, and I've got to
     Bb       Gm
Make my decision
Gm                         Bb  F
  This time it could be my moment
Gm                      Bb
  Is this a mirage or a chance
        Gm     C
to fulfill my mission?

[chorus]
  Gm         C    Bb    C F
a river in a dry land
  Gm               C    Bb    C F
The last ace in a lost hand
  Gm               C   Bb   C F
a heartbeat for a tin man
  Gm        C      Bb    C F  F Bb
Oasis in a singed land

[verse 2]
Gm
  I'm keeping the balance,
but I'm standing
   Bb            Gm
On razor's edge now
Gm                         Bb  F
  Move quick or my life is over
Gm
  One strike, just a feint, then ...
     Bb              Gm  C
I'm outta his field of vision
Gm
  Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to
Bb               Gm
Strike him down now
Gm
  a chance at a new start

There's no time for indecision

[chorus]
  Gm         C    Bb
a river in a dry land
    Gm             C    Bb
The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings
             C
burned our feet
       F

[verse 3]
Gm
  My heart is a furnace,
                         Bb             Gm
(It's) Hot as hell in my world of conflict
Gm                   Bb       F
  One goal is what keeps me going
Gm
  Take back what I lost to ...
     Bb          Gm       C
The bosses of greed and fear, yeah
Gm                                        Bb

When a cool drop of water's all I need
      Bb                 F         Dm
Gotta clear my head of anger and greed
    Bb          F     Dm
a place to refresh heart and mind,
Bb
Can I find

Some time in
