[Verse 1]
      A           D
I was down so long
      A              D
Everything was goin' wrong
      A           D
And the people all around me
      A           D
Got the news
         A            D
Lord and everything I tried
        A                 D
Fell to pieces and slowly died
   A              D
My soul was going broke
      A           D
From paying dues

[Verse 2]

      A                D
I was very nearly beat
       A                  D
When I crawled back to my feet
A                D
Believing that a change
      A           D
Was overdue
        A              D
Now I'm pickin' up the pieces
    A              D
And takin' out new leases
        A             D
Gettin' ready for the things
          A
I want to do

[Verse 3]
         D                G
Lord I'm ready to make my way
        D                  G
Take it slowly from day to day
        D            G
Take it easy on myself
     D            G
As I roll along
     D                  G
Lord knows it's down to me
   D             G
To write the melody
   D           G
To sing my own words
       D
To the song

[Chorus]
                 Bm     A
And you know I'm ready

I'm ready as I'm gonna be
    A
I'm ready finally
